North of Porto Seguro . . . Itacaré 4/5/07--4/9/07

Porto Seguro felt more fun the second time around! We even enjoyed a lambada party, what the city is famous for in the first place! Our time restraint did not allow us to stay long and we made it to Itacaré for Ivie´s party . . . just in time . . . whew! Ivie threw a wicked rave party in the center of Itacaré, after which Mishka and I went swimming in the sewage water nearby without knowing, and saw an amazing sunrise at that! (Pictures to come)

Itacaré is an extremely touristy area filled with surfers, jewelry makers, and hippies . . . but to get out and really enjoy Itacaré, all you have to do is walk 3 blocks out of the main streets!! Or you get yourself a local guide and check out some deserted beaches around the area and maybe even a cachoiera!

Sometimes, I get really hungry and if there´s no food around! I go crazy!!

Mishka quickly found me a fruit to nibble on in fear for his own life. :)
Just so you know, this is a cocoa fruit plant, from which chocolate is made from. .. and it´s white!! What came first, white chocolate or dark??? Please let a girl know . . .

Mishka hated coconut until (like a MAN) he found his own in the jungle, tore off the hard skin, broke it open with his bare hands, and. . . the rest is history folks.
Itacaré is a hard place to leave, almost as if the laziness can overtake your body and keep you for months! Mishka and I packed out bags and escaped to a nearby city, Ilheus.
