When I left the states one the many goals of my trip was to explore the south of Brasil, since the northern states had been emphasized in previous trips. I started off in the right area, Florianopolis, but after flying to Salvador it has been all north, Bahia, Pernambuco, Cearà, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte. It's probably about time to go south, but since I've been so thorough in my exploration of the north, there are a few spots I missed before the girls came that I feel I better check before I leave, so I guess that's the plan. Canoa Quebrada, in Cearà, promises to hold some of the flavor of Pipa and Jeicoacoara. Porto de Galinhas and neighboring Maracaipe and Tamandare, neighbor Recife and were highly recommended by the couple in Pipa, plus they have waves. Mangue Seco, on the Bahia/ Sergipe border, may hold some of the of-the-grid Bahian charm of Arembepe. Trancoso/ Caraiva/ Arrail Dajuda/ Porto Seguro, a cluster of neigboring destinations in sourthern Bahia, I know from my first trip, but would like to see how I feel about them that my fluency and familiarity has increased. Plus I had hoped to visit Vanessa at her property there.
So, its a plan. A part of me is itching to get down to Rio and Sao Paolo states, but I'll be there soon enough. I spent a few days in Salvador, mostly in the internet cafe with my new laptop, getting everything up to par, then hopped a bus for Mangue Seco.
