Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro (State), Brazil

We keep traveling northeasterly up the east side of South America. There is no more cold this trip. It is hot and humid and we are still quite a bit below the equator.

For several days we have enjoyed quiet, quaint, fishing villages with not much going on but touristy boating, shopping, beaches and general loveliness. There hasn’t been much to write about but the days have been very pleasant.

 We have one more tomorrow then it is off to Rio for three days.

 Did you know that Rio de Janeiro is a state as well as a city?
