I'm nearing the end of my trip, but there is still one more chance for you to have an excuse to visit South America: The Carribean Coast of Colombia. Hot weather, beaches, snorkeling, scuba diving, big parties, and the beautiful colonial city of Cartagena make this region the jewel of the Caribbean. It will definitely change how you feel about Colombia, too. I'll be there near the end of the year, so let me know if you want to travel with me for awhile through the region.
Well, "querer não é poder", we always say in portuguese... İ would love meet you again and see Colombia, but it is impossible now maybe Cuba in february???...
By the way JERÄ°COACOARA is really wonderful. Check the pictures in my CS profile.
Kisses and Hugs from Brazil
