…Your Christmas Tree :-)?

When it comes to Christmas decorations everyone has different things in mind.

Praia dos Carneiros is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is known as the most beautiful beach in Brazil. Its sublime, warm and crystal water makes this a very special and treasured place. At one end of the beach, you will find the natural pools where you can see fish and all sorts of sea animals and at the other end you will see a church which you can get to by going on one of the most mesmerizing walks you will ever have.

My first experience falling in love with Porto de Galinhas…

When I arrived in this little town decorated with charming craft shops, filled with assorted dining places (many wonderful “churrascrias” or barbecues) and cafes, I had no idea how much I would fall in love with this place.  Walking to the beach in a large street – made for pedestrians only – I was taking in the soft music and enjoying the aroma from the different restaurants all around.  As I arrived at the beach, I saw this mesmerizing ocean with very clear water and my biggest delight was putting my feet in the water feeling the warmth that I always crave so much for in Vancouver, Canada, where my husband and I currently live.  It felt like bath water.

The  tropics of Brazil are amazing! You’ll never put your camera away. It is truly a Garden of Eden, lest you eat of that tree.

Brazilians do not use their hands to eat.  They usually use a fork and knife for just about everything including sandwiches, pizzas, chicken and more.  Although Brazilians are aware that North Americans and other countries often use their hands to eat, they are quite amused by that and will probably watch one eating with their hands discretely since Brazilians are very curious people.
