Blog: Ilha do Miel
We hadn´t intended on making Paranagua a long stopover, and upon arriving realized that there was no need to make it one. Despite being on the Atlantic Ocean, the beaches had long been taken over by a massive shipping port and the waterfront promenade was a strip of rundown and empty buildings. I was prepared […] more…
Blog: I’m Starting to doubt Brazil will let us leave
We’ve been in Brazil for almost a month and a half now, and with so many more countries to visit, and so little time left – for how much we have to do – we’ve been making the conscious effort to leave. This is easier said than done. There is just something about Brazil that […] more…
Blog: Ain’t no Party like a Brazilian Beach Party
… because a Brazilian Beach Party last all night long (continued from last post)…. We spent a total of 5 days in Saquarema, and as the week wore on we were spending more and more time on the beach, or sitting on the patio drinking. This all changed as everyone’s cash began to dwindle, and […] more…

Blog: The Mighty Amazon
“The Mighty Anus of the Amazon”,”Let me start by saying the tourist infrastructure in Brazil is light years ahead of that which exists in Bolivia.

Blog: Green Beer / Dancing Gringos

Blog: Sitting on top of the world

Friday we were surfing in Lima, in the warm waters of the Pacific, and Saturday morning (6am) we arrived here for the start of […] more…
Blog: Hello Peru
