Morro de Sao Paulo

We left Itacare early Sunday morning (around 5:30) and took two buses and a ferry boat that finally brought us to Morro de Sao Paulo. It was raining pretty hard core when we landed, but J and I are more hardcore than any rain! So we hiked with our bags through the crazy to the Black and White hostel. We chose Black and White because all of the israelis stay there :-) We got a chance to see a good portion of the island, though through the rain, but it was beautiful. The streets are made of sand and there are no cars. Stuff is really expensive here though because it is pretty much all tourists. Because of the rain we hung in our room a lot, which we shared with two other israelis. J actually got shocked by the shower....which was funnier than you'd expect. One day we ate shakshukah, another result of the strong israeli influence on this island. We met this israeli guy named Ayal and he decided to join us on our trip to Jericoacoara because he has been here for two weeks already just chillin in a hammock. So we are headed out in like an hour....gotta go eat!!

love from your backpacker abroad!
