Passeio pro Sul da Ilha "Trip to the South of the Island"

today, alberto and i went down to Lagoinha do Leste, one of my favorite little, secluded spots in floripa. it takes about 2 1/2 hours to go and return, but the vistas/views are spectacular! it has the most perfect mixture of mountains, sea, nature, sky, sand... i loved going back there. it brought back so many memorias.

yesterday, we didn´t do much (typical of sundays here), but alberto´s parents are worth mentioning here. his father is so happy, sweet, kind, and friendly. his mother is the same, but she is also very hospitable and generous--her soup was great! i´ve really enjoyed getting to know them...
tomorrow, i´m going to eat lunch with my second family, and then we´re going to meet up with alberto´s friends for a "goodbye" night for me... then, wednesday, i fly to belo horizonte to hang out with my friend, aida... até logo, gente!
