i love ubatuba

when you are invited to the beach for a weekend at a place called UBATUBA - how can you refuse??

before i got on the four-hour bus trip at 7am on saturday morning i did think it would be nice to get out of the city for a couple of days and see another place in brasil...but i didn't imagine how amazing it would really be! to be once again at a fairly quite, beautiful beach, with sun and sand and friendly happy people...it was so relaxing and re-energising!!! and being there it reminded me so much of redcliffe's shores and especially my family - must admit to a bout of homesickness and reflection :)

i also had great brazilian hosts - friendly and hospitable (and musically talented - playing guitar and drums on the beach)

the weekend taught me that i need to plan to get out of the city and connect with nature regularly and rekindled my interest in exploring brazilian music also - next week i will start some percussion classes with christel :)

here is a glimpse of the beach from the path that went from the house to the shores of praia fortaleza...if you want to see more you can check them out here
