Day 7? 16? 45?: Buzios

Who keeps track of days after the first one or two anyway? By this time I knew it was after new years, but couldn't ever remember what day/date of the week it was. But that's a good marker for a vacation.

We took another small trip the second week, this time to Ararauama, Cabo Frio and Buzios. We didn't have as much luck with the weather. It wasn't ever terrible, but not nice enough for us to go to the beach - to my disappointment. But we had a nice couple of days walking around the towns. Buzios was nice, and we had a good time shopping and eating and enjoying the scenery.


A nice pic of Felipe and I by the water. Starting to tan, aren't we? ;)


The whole gang, minus Primitivo who's taking the photo.


Gotta capture those awesome shots...they're not gonna make it on my camera by themselves.


You can see it was a lot overcast, but still nice to see all of the colorful boats bobbing in the water. This one is 100% Buziano! (I'm not sure what that means...)


Cute mosaics in the sidewalk.






A nice photo of Felipe and his dad at dinner in Cabo Frio. Primitivo was happy to be spending time with his son, and Felipe was happy to be spending time with his dad (he was happy as well about the all you can eat pizza he was having for dinner too...)

I'd love to go back in nicer weather. The beaches were so wide and amazing looking. It just wasn't meant to be on this trip. Actually, you could get me to go back to Buzios anytime, as long as I could find that street vendor who had the best ever cocada that I tasted while I was there. A cocada is this supremely yummy coconut and condensed milk treat...something I plan on leaning how to make and perfect so that I can feed my newly acquired cocada habit without having to go all the way to the southern hemisphere. Just to give you an idea, this woman looks like she makes a very very delicious cocada. I would have taken a pic of mine to post...but I was too busy eating!
