hey guys, hows it going? i'm doing fine, just doing the same old such as going to uni and the beach ect. however i have done some really good things in the past few weeks that i would like to share with you.

a few weeks ago, adriano a friend of ours who is brazilian and marine biologist invited us (sarah,helen and i) on a 'buggy' tour. A buggy here is like a really small jeep and it is speciall desigened to go on the beach at low tide (see picture below)

We had to get up really early at 8 am so we could take advantage of the tide. It was a beautiful day and i think we visited about 5 beaches.
heres a pic of me at one of the beaches

we got to one beach just as the fishermen were bringing out their nets, we were so lucky


they had all sorts in their nets, eels, stingrays, shrimp, fish, crabs.
adriano grabbed a crab and put a cigarette in its claw ( no animals were harmed in the process)

it was a lovely day and adriano was so kind to us, he didnt let us pay for anything and it was nice to see more isolated beaches cos the beaches we go to are packed most of the time and the water is a bit muddier cos its an urban beach.

some more pics


the next post will talk about brasils independence day which was the 7th of september.

take care guys,

love steph
