Friday Postcard: Beach Bums in Florianopolis

Posted in Activities, Brazil Facts, Travel Recommendations on 21. May, 2010

Hi all,

I hope that you had a good week.

What are your plans for the weekend? One favorite pass time down here is surfing. You may not think of Brazil as a surfing mecca, and it’s certainly not Hawaii or Australia, but with thousands of miles of coastline, there are some good spots to catch a wave.

One of these is Florianopolis, in the southern state of Santa Catarina. Here you’ll find perhaps the best surfing in Brazil. Some of the surfers begin quite young, as you can see below.

Not a surfer? You’ll also find here what I and many others consider to be the most beautiful women in this country of beautiful women. Again, see below.

So here’s a twofer postcard. Enjoy!
