Itanhaém - Time Capsule

We are back in Campinas for two days now. This is the coolest summer I have in Brazil. It rains almost everyday.


Temperature is between 25 to 18 degree C, exactly like Vancouver summer but without the rain.

We were at the beach 3 times during our 11 day stay.

   

I took a video of our beach apartment.

All the furnitures are about as old as the apartment. The place was renovated about 26 years ago. Washing machine is bought on this trip.Adriana has been coming here since childhood. So are her children. It is a time capsule to her!

But this is high season. Children are having their summer holiday. Beach is crowded.

I see mostly families at the beach, young children, teenagers, mom, pap and grannies with tummies. Few sexy Brazilian girls here. I suppose young people have their own beach to go to.
For many Brazilians, going to the beach is an annual event. Some of them, especially the children were disappointed by the rain.


Still our favorite restaurant with decent seafood and wi-fi, but not cheap! For two people, easily US$50 to $80.
