Hi, guys. Hope you are all doing well.
Today I want to share with you some images from my outing to the beach, just across the avenue where my aunt's apartment is located. I went with my aunt, her two small daughters and my grandmother. It was not a sunny day and these beaches are not even close to what I had in Venezuela, but it was good to go out after such a long quarantine.
So, here we are in the North Atlantic coast of Brazil.
Punta D'areia (Sand peak) may be one of the most exclusive areas in the state, but when you look at its location you wonder what they were thinking when they built these apartment complexes here. It is scary to see yourself from a satellite. It's like the last place you want to be in case of a tsunami.
It may look nicer here, but even the lake on the far right is kind of stinky when you pass by. You tell me if you would not feel exposed here.

Anyway, we have enough panic with Covid-19, so I stopped thinking about where I was and just enjoyed the outing. We got ready by noon and came back home by 4 pm. It is not a good idea to stay too late here. The tide can cover up to 8 meters of beach in a matter of minutes.
The sand of this beach looks and feels like powder, like dust.
As I said, it was not sunny today, it rarely is at this time of the year. Even though people are allowed to go out, there are some mechanisms implemented to make bathers keep the social distance.
Me, just being a clown
These little fellas made my day. Isn't he gorgeous?
There were so many of them!

We had lunch at the beach. Rice with some sort of fried cheese.
This is a picture of the rice. It's called jambalaya. It's a native dish of South Louisiana. It has rice, chicken, raw ham or sausage, prawns and lots of hot pepper. If you ask me, it's delicious.
I am still getting used to Brazilian cousine. I do like the music, even though I can't dance it.
