Today, were sitting in a glass walled dining room, overlooking the beach. The doors are open to let the breeze in. A cook brings us grilled cheese sandwiches, eggs, couscous, fruit, cereal, milk, juice, and coffee. After a few weeks of long bus journeys, and quick stopovers it feels really nice to be spoiled. Rich's friend, Rafael, comes from a nice family in Joao Pessoa. His mother, Rafael, and both his brothers are doctors. His father owns a dairy farm outside the city. They've just built this beautiful, open floor plan house on the ocean.
Rafael has taken some days off of work to show us around his city, and to take us to some of the countries nicest beaches. His family tells us that Joao Pessoa doesn't get many tourists, especially not overseas travelers, and they accept us warmly into their family for our stay. Mariana, Rafaels girlfriend, has taught me the basic steps for forro when they took us out for a night on the town. It's been really nice to stay with a family, and I hope that they all come visit us one day.
