| Here are the first travel pictures! |
During the long flight to Recife I already met some nice Brazilian people. Then, arriving at the airport trying to get organized, I ran into Timur from Germany because we both wanted to stay at a hostel. What can I say that other than that from that moment on, everything went on pretty well! We stayed for two nights in a really sweet hostel with lovely people, checked out the beach, city and food and I thought that I was really lucky to be on this warm, colorful, friendly, corner of the earth full of music, sun, joy and cachaca :) These days where followed by trips to other cities along the coast full of activities like swimming, learning to surf and capoeira, dancing (forro, a local dance), making new friends, small and bigger live concerts, hanging out at the beach day and night, eating very well (fresh fruits and black beans are my favourite), riding a motorbike in the back and doing nothing but relax. A couple of days before I went with some Brazilians to Joao Pessoa to visit a friend"s home. Since then, I haven"t been able to speak anything other than Portugnol, a soft version of Spanish. The idea is to modify my Spanish more and more so that in the end I speak perfect Portuguese. Well, facing reality, I must admit that it only works sometimes. This is really strange: Sometimes I can have a really long conversation and other times I don"t understand a bit. Nice challenge!
What I really like besides all the obvious things is that here life is time and weightless. Wearing only a bit more than a bikini, without cell phone, iPod, watch, schedule and just a backpack it is pretty easy to feel free and explore. And Christmas! Well, here are obvious signs that this "event" is gonna happen soon but I don"t feel it! How can you feel like Christmas when you have your real serious sunburn? I still don"t have any precise plans about the next months other than that I want to work on an organic farm and do some volunteer work. Vamos ver :)
PS: There are so many more pictures I wann take but my camera became really bitchy and recently fell into a deep coma...
