Hi Twinmom7,

I was in Natal (Ponta Negra, Pipa) and Bahia (Salvador, Imbassaí, and Morro de Sao Paolo).

Beautiful country, wonderful people!!

No, I don't know Rio Grande do Sul, isn't that around Rio? (Excuse my ignorance).

I live in Holland, by the way. Amsterdam. (they even filmed part of a brazilian soap around here!! ). Wish I coud've seen it.

Marielle,
rio grande do sul is not around rio, it´s border with uruguay.
these places you´ve visited are in north and i liv ein south. these are very far from there!

OH...I forgot to thank you for those links Twinmom.

Thank you.

Oh, I will have to check my map and see where it is.
Yes, Brazil is so huge! I heard it takes 3 days by bus from Natal to Rio.
Where I am it only takes 3 hours by car to get out of the country!!!
Thanks for those recipe links. There a brazilian restaurant here that does great food and caiparinhas.........

but tell us some more about yourself. how many kids do you have?
I have one son - now 16 - who has an african father. I am blonde and neither of us looked out of place in brazil.


<sigh> wish I was there right now...............
