Brazil

I recently went on vacation to Brazil and here are some photos from the trip. Most of my photos involve other people so I don't want to post those, but here are some decent ones. Unfortunately, I only have postable photos of a small portion of the trip so there is much more to Brazil than this. It truly is a beautiful country.

My girlfriend grew up in Brazil (she currently studies in the US) so I decided to join her for two weeks over winter break (summer in Brazil). Her parents live near Sao Paulo (not shown) but we spent a week in an apartment near the beach in Guaruja.



Me at the beach eating some corn and drinking a coconut.


The apartment I stayed at for about a week.


Crowded Beach.


New Year Celebration.


Boats.




In case anyone wants to picture a face with my posts...

Sorry, I didn't really put any background in the first post. I edited the initial post for clarification. Thanks.

It was a lot of fun. Everyone I talked to was really nice and understanding of my limited Portuguese, the food was amazing, and it was extremely interesting to see the cultural and infrastructure differences. Sao Paulo is HUGE, bigger than New York, and traffic was horrible but it was a lot of fun to walk through. I drank a lot of fruit juices and all the bread you eat was literally made less than 24 hours prior. If anyone gets a chance, I would strongly recommend it, however, it is a place where you have to be careful as a tourist. I was lucky to be constantly surrounded by Brazilians but I did have to change my dress and behavior in certain areas to avoid attracting attention (hence no pictures of certain regions). As can be seen, I do not look like a Brazilian at all.

The sun did kick my ass though. I wore SPF 50 and still got burnt pretty bad. Still worth it. And NOTHING is more refreshing than drinking a coconut in 90 degree heat. Nothing. Plus, the scenery on the beach was excellent in multiple ways. Not that I was looking...


I do want to go again and next time I should know more Portuguese.

So you spent most of the trip at the nudist colony, no wonder you got burnt.

The only Portuguese you really need:

Beija-me Muito

Beija-me, beija-me muito
Como se esta noite fosse
a última vez

Beija-me, beija-me muito
Que tenho medo de te perder
Te perder depois

Quero te ter bem perto
Olhar-me em seus olhos
Te ver junto a mim
Pensa que talvez amanhã
Eu já estarei longe
Muito longe daqui

Beija-me, beija-me muito
Como se esta noite fosse
a última vez

Beija-me, beija-me muito
Que tenho medo de te perder
Te perder depois

Beija-me, beija-me muito...
