Em férias no Brasil 2008 – Finalmente, a gente va à praia

Finally, we went to the beach!  I think it goes without saying that the beaches are very beautiful here.  The sun is bright, sand is soft, and the water is a perfect temperature.  The waves here break very close to the shore and the current is very strong, making swimming a little more dangerous and surfing a little easier. I’ve never surfed before but I think I’ll try before I leave.

I love that all of the beaches have vendors that sell anything you could ever want while relaxing. Caipirinhas, cerveja, coconut milk, oysters, and even full meals.  It’s also nice that you don’t have to rent tables, chairs, and umbrellas. Simply order something and you can sit in the shade to enjoy it while watching the surf.
