Yes, it´s true, the most popular style for lounging at the beach these days is the infamous speedo. It seems to be that the less you wear in Brazil, the more stylish you are. Despite the rather shocking display of body parts, I was glad to escape the city of Sao Paulo last weekend and head to the coast. Masha´s host parents own an apartment right on the sand (you can see the view from the windows in the pictures above) and they kindly lent it to a few of us for the weekend. We spent the entirety of two days lounging on the sand in beautiful sunny weather. It could not have been more perfect! The water was so warm, with few big waves, so floating in the ocean felt like sitting in a hot tub. At one point during low tide, Cate and I swam to the small island right off the shore. We didn´t explore too much for fear of poisonous tropical animals hungry for bare feet, but we did make friends with some helpful locals. We had to climb over rocks to reach the island´s shore, and they offered a helping hand in navigating the rougher patches. All in all, I didn´t want to leave! I can´t think of a better way to spend a weekend, plus, I couldn´t let myself leave Brazil without checking out the sandy beaches!
