I spent my last week in Brazil, at the Seaside Oasis town of Jericoacoara. Known as Jeri, because no-one can pronounce it properly. It was a slightly surreal place. The strangeness enhanced by the two cows who lived downtown. One cow was religious and could often be seen hanging out by the church. The other was more into the restaurant scene, and would hang out downtown, nibbling on the floral arrangements outside the pizza restaurant. Well anyway maybe you had to be there, but roaming cows at 1am, hanging out in town plazas always give me a fright.

some coast!
Buggy Tour! This was cool speeding along sanddunes in crazy beach buggys. Note from the photo that it is regulation to drive ones buggy sans flipflops. (actually they wouldnt let us drive, incase we broke there buggys)
Los Chilleanos, riding their Boohey... Its pronounced buggy, ok :)
Ubiquitous "view through natural archway" photo.

Beach buggies eh? What happened to mule trains over the andes with spanish gold?
Miles
The Spanish took all the gold, roughed up the local population, got power crazy and then got kicked out to be replaced by crazed dictators. So there you have it SouthAmerica History 101... Still a few mules kicking about the place.
