Jericoacoara

Friday, March 6


I have an important announcement to make.

I have a COUNTRY!

Okay, so it's not really mine. But it has my name written all over it. And it's only my ideal vacation spot. It's like a dream.

I was sitting in TA today, bored, so I decided to type in my name on Internet Explorers address bar. And what I discovered was mindblowing amazing.

There is a country off of the coast of Brazil called Jericoacoara! With one of the best beaches in the world, it's become a popular tourist spot. There are no large buildings, and it's simply beautiful.

Originally a fishing village until about twenty years ago, Jeri is currently an Enviornmental Protection Area; which means building limitations. There are no paved roads, and everything is tropical and beautiful. There are no streetlights; only the stars and the moon at night. They say that Jericoacoara has some of the best views of the stars, completely unpolluted by city lights.

People flock to Jeri to windsurf, kitesurf, sandsurf...and to surf! There's horseback riding, canoeing, and most of all, relaxing! People there put everything off until 'tomorrow.' Life just goes with the flow. The beauty of nature is stunning, and there's plenty of time to take it all in. 

As it's website says, "Jeri is a place removed from the hurried modern world of screeching sirens, maniac deadlines, traffic jams and endless lineups. A place where streets are paved with sand, where beaches stretch as far as the eye can see and where warm water marries with palm swaying breezes."

It has now become a dream of mine to visit there. Jericoacoara.  

The website is www.jeri.com. Feel free to check out my new paradise.
