Brazilian Media

We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things, we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself ...

... I had forgotten that, and so many things. How could I put everything down on paper? It seemed impossible. No matter what, the majority of life would be left out of this story, this sliver of a version of the life I'd known. But I tried anyway.

Well boys and girls. Looks like I'm pretty much done compiling photos and whatnot.

Here is some media from Brazil:

Musical Slideshow (the first few songs are major anthems from the trip)

Static Photo Gallery

This is a little video of the 2nd secret beach we hit on our last Saturday (the one Paul skipped on). It's called Lagoa Naufragados. We took a boat there but we hiked back through the jungle.



Here's a clip from our one night at Pacha. Lighting is bad and doesn't really convey the magnitude and scale of this place but I think you get the vibe.



We went to the dunes of Joaquina to sand surf but it was raining and the sand was sticky. So we just drove another 1/2 mile and did the real kind of surfing. I guess if it was sunny and dry we would have looked something like this.



This is a clip from the secret beach we found on the SE corner of the island early on. We took a car and 2 motorcycles to the trailhead. It rained the whole hike. Paul made it back barefoot. It's called Lagoinha do Leste which I think translates to hidden beach or something.



I tried to find some clips of the other spots we spent time at. Unfortunately the only clips I found seemed to revlove around a lot of T&A without really showing the other merits and natural beauty.

Here's a clip of P12 in the winter. We were there in the summer. Lots of photos in the gallery. The video makes it look like a bit of a poser-fest. An S&M (Stand and Model) joint perhaps. It's a lot more laid back and wholesome in the summers.



Here is a clip of Praia Mole where we lived. Again, it's too bad the clip's all about T&A because it's actually a beautiful beach with good waves, cold water, and lots of good food, drinks, and music.
