On September 7th it was Brazil’s Independence Day so everyone got a long weekend break. My family took me to the beach for four days. I had the time of my life, the weather was beautiful, the food was delicious and can never get sick of sun tanning on the sand! It’s just starting to feel like spring here so I couldn’t get enough of wearing shorts and tank tops at least majority of the week. When I come home I am going to be so TAN!
We scored a nice place to stay in Matinhos all week. My dad works for the Caixa Bank and his work hooked us up with a place to stay where there was a pool, a buffet of food served all day long and a patio with ping pong tables and Foosball. This place was not anything fancy but only 3 blocks from the beach satisfied me!
On the second to last day we took a little road trip to another beach town. This town was called Guaratuba and there are two ways you can get there. The shorter way is to take a ferry boat that ports cars and big trucks across as well. Guaratuba is not an island but coming from Matinhos the ferry is the smarter way to go because there’s no time wasted. That day was my favorite out of the whole vacation because we walked up to a famous statue up on the hill that looks over the whole beach town. The view was gorgeous and a perfect place to take photos.
After getting some lunch we went to the beach and laid in the sun, listened to music and had a photo shoot to update our profile pictures:) There’s no better way I would have ended my first vacation away from the city!
