Well, I'm in Florianópolis, Brazil, on the island of Santa Catarina. Wow. Paradise. I've got a hotel just two blocks from the beach and can hear the waves from my little balcony. I've been getting up early to walk the beach before it gets too hot. Have really been enjoying it. I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go to another coastal town called Curitiba. Then I have to decide whether to continue north or to fly to Iguazú to see the waterfalls there. Tough decisions, I know.

Here are some photos of the beach. I met up with this little owl this morning.
