Beaches and Seafood

April 23, 2009
I’m headed off to do a little traveling in this diverse and interesting country. I had hoped to get some more posts up this week, but I simply ran out of time.
Next week, I will be back to blogging and will share with you some adventures of beaches and seafood from Florianópolis, Brazil. You will likely get a few fitness related notes too, as my husband is all set to run in the Volta á Ilha – a 150 km relay around the island. In addition, I’m looking forward to experiencing some of the German culture that is so prevalent in the south when we stop in Blumenau.

We took a trip to Florianopolis in 2007 so here is just a little preview of the reports and foodie fun you can expect next week. See you then!!

Praia Brava – Where we stayed on our first trip.

Sequência de camarão (Sequence of Shrimp) – A seafood feast!

Chocolate Shop – We stopped by on the drive. They had soccer balls made of chocolate. Big surprise in a futebol loving country.

Praia Mole – A great place to climb off all the food.

    As I read this post I found myself glancing repeatedly at the closet where I store my luggage. I so want to go where you’re going and where you’ve been. Especially if I can eat a chocolate soccer ball along the way.

    Enjoy your trip, and I hope your husband blazes to glory in that relay! I look forward to your next post once you’re back.

    Awww! I have been to Praia Brava many years ago, it was very private, and with nude people, very beautiful, and the sand is so white, Florianopolis is a grate city. Looking forward to some more pictures to remind me how pretty my country is.
