Morro de São Paolo

Just got back from one of the best Islands ever! Actually, the only island i've ever been to. After a ferry ride, a car ride, and another boat, we finally made it to our 4 night stay at a place where the only method of transportation is by wheelbarrow.

Drinks, food, beaches, women, live music. The best. I made friends with so many locals, it was ridiculous. Our neighbor dresses up as Captain Jack Sparrow during his free time. We stayed right across from a market that sells so much alcohol. We may have bought them out.

Brazil is crazy about electronic music and Lady Gaga. One of the clubs was on a hillside and it was outdoors! How awesome is that; dancing to music while the ocean breeze is cooling you down.

You know its time to wake up when the sun is in your face, ice is being bagged, and the neighbors are playing loud music. Our only knowledge of time was either from ipods or cameras.

I got to see my first Capoeira performance! And then we explored. We had no directions. Why the fudge for?! No destination.

Unfortunately, i did not get to see the sunrise from the island. You would think that being in a place with a bunch of people that i know, somebody would have woken me up to see it. Selfish, right? Eh. F it.

I definitely won't miss cold showers with shower-heads that shock you, the mosquito's, or the expensive food. But i will miss being on the island with everyone from the program that was able to go.

I have to go now. tchau.
