Fate....

So today is our last day in Buzios and we leave fricken early to get to the Rio airport for a 12 noon flight! Nadia is definately going to be grouchy! All in all, Buzios is super cute and I would even recommend it for a honeymoon spot as there are several different beaches - some secluded and some really busy. Yesterday we went to Ossus and Joan de Fernandes beaches. Both were a few minutes walking from our place but we took a boat taxi from Ossus to the Fernandes beach just for the experience. But speaking of the boat taxi, we shared one with this Brazilian couple that actually spoke English! They were super nice and helpful and interesting to talk to even though they were middle aged. Later on that evening, we saw all 4 people that we had spoken to in Buzios at the same restaurant, the couple from the boat taxi and the 2 americans that we met on the bus. The restaurant, Bananaland, is a type of Brazilian restaurant where you weigh you food. Interesting concept but buffets are more fun.

Today we went to a suffers beach called Gerrida and Nadia and I took a surfing lesson and then went surfing for an hour! It was so fun!! It was tricky at first but I got up on the second try! It was super fun and our teacher, Marco, was so cute! Although, it was tough to get better when most of the lesson was with actions as there was minimal English words exhanged! The reason for the title for my post is because we were worrying about where to keep our stuff while surfing, but on the way to the surf station, we saw the nice couple again who gladly watched our stuff for us! Considering that we knew four ppl, it was a convenient coincidence.

It funny but people ask us if we are Chilian, Bolivian or from Argentina b/c they apparently have darker skin. It confuses ppl when we tell them we are from Canada but oh well.

Ne ways, off to Salvador in northern brazil tomorrow!
