We gladly left Foz and arrived on an island directly east on the Atlantic coast. We settled into our posada eagerly, realizing that we have not stayed any one place more than 3 nights since we were in Milwaukee. Our chale (cabin) is in a garden setting, 100 m from the beach, has a kitchen, bathroom, large living/sleeping area, front porch with hammocks and is spanking clean! Sadly, this place is very likely bigger, nicer, and definitely cheaper than our future apartment in CA.
The village, Pantano do Sul, is a classic fishing village nestled between the mountains and the ocean. We watched fishing boats depart from our beach last night while feasting at a famous seafood joint. Some of the beaches, as we discovered yesterday, can be reached only by foot, by climbing over large mountains thru very rocky trails. We have become completely disoriented to time (of day, date, and day of week), but will get ourselves on track before Fri´s flight to Rio. This is the relaxing honeymoon and break from constant traveling we need.
Internet is somewhat rare, but we´ll be in touch as able.
P.S. True or False: Today we walked by a dead shark head on the beach.
P.P.S. Multiple choice: O & C saw which of the following on the jungle hike to yesterday´s deserted beach
a) a polar bear
b) black smoke
c) Hermano
d) surfer dudes carrying their boards

a and c
a polar bear named Hermanl?
or is it b and d
a surfer dude making black smoke?
True
D (I might have chosen C but I don't know who or what Hermano is!!) Treasure your peaceful time on the beach. Sure wish I was there too...it is 30 and gray in Milwaukee today! Love, Mama Sy
Hi guys! For your first question, I'm going to guess true because that would be way cool. If it is true I hope you took some pictures (or "pickies" as Maddie likes to say). For the multiple choice I am going to deduce letter B because I don't think polar bears would be hanging out in a jungle near a beach, I doubt you were watching Arrested Development during your hike to the beach so Hermano seems unlikely, and it is hard for me to imagine surfer dudes carrying their boards through the jungle to get to the beach. Maddie thinks the answer is either "doggie -- woof woof" or "pizza." Guess she's too young for multiple choice. Hope you are putting 100% effort into rest and relaxation! Love, Mary
Polar bear and black smoke. Were you also forced to push a mysterious button every 108 minutes? - Kim
A polar bear in the jungle, totally plausible- tell me are you meeting a lot of people with mysterious and incongruously interconnected pasts who all happen to by a seemingly random twist of fate come together in the same area. If so, definitely a polar bear and black smoke!
Livvy and Chris... miss you miss you miss you. Love your webpage!!! Glad you are completely enjoying your time.. I need to get into the trivia (I didn't realize this was going to be interactive!). Big hugs to both...love, Jesse
