We spent our last day in Lençois resting, exploring the town, blogging... We attempted to visit Jair and Regina at their ice cream shop, but it was closed. We had our pousada-keeper phone and find out how Regina´s arm was. It was not broken, but infected and needed to be drained. They were "thankful for our worry."
Then at 5 and 6 o´clock, we spent QT with Deiter the masseuse. He specializes in Shiatsu, Thai, and reflexology. It was definitely Chris´s and quite possibly Olivia´s best massage ever. We love Deiter.
Before we settled down for our last home cooked family style meal at Pousada dos Duendes, Olivia joined a few French travelers who has befriended a 13 year old local named Alessandra. Turns out she was just being friendly to Olivia to get to Chris (seriously), but she was very insistent about having us visit the capoeira class going on just up the hill. About 50+ kids, from ages 4 to teens, were crammed into a space, taking turns in the roda, laughing, singing loud and proud. It was just about the cutest thing ever to see the pee-wees doing kicks and spins, and of course some of them were quite advanced too, performing amazing acrobatics.
We took the night bus, changed at 4 am, and found ourselves in a dinky town where we caught a boat to the Island of Morro de Sao Paulo. We were exhausted, finally arriving at our hotel at 11, but glad to spend more time relaxing on the beach before returning to chilly WI in less than 1 week.
