Florianopolis

Is the undisputed winner when it comes to awesome places to go for a fun, semi-tropical vacation. Good surfing, great beaches, beautiful people, good food, Kitesurfing, sandboarding, scuba diving, paragliding, and a hostel with a pet Parrot to help you live the pirate lifestyle. None of my photos do the place justice, I was too busy having fun. Note that in one photo you'll see a group of angry motorists. We got stuck behind a freeway accident during rush hour and all the motorcycles split lanes until they were stopped at the road block. There was over 50 bikes by the time they cleared the road and when they let us through it was like the start of a race.

Photos: 1. Partial view of the brackish lake facing East. The ocean is on the other side of the land mass. 2. Houses during sunset. 3. Angry motorists. 4. Famous Brazilian surf beach "Joaquina" a day before the huge waves came. 5. Standard Issue Sustainable transportation (in wide use).
