fernando de noronha

I am on an island virtually untouched by man. some of the most beautiful beaches I have seen, surrounded by cliffs and a nature you cannot capture in words or photos it is very underpopulated here, as only about 400 people are allowed on the island at once. so much for the nightlife! this is truly a hidden paradise. sooji and I are traveling with fabio our italian friend. our days are spent driving around in a buggy exploring the 12 beaches, snorkeling, tanning (yes we are VERY tan!!), eating lots of moqueca and grilled fish. it has become a simple existance, and indeed a happy one. this afternoon we will return to recife and find our way to olinda, an old colonial village...
