well finally in brazil!!!!! after a really long night ride from fuz iguazu in brazil to florianopolis, which had in it being stopped by the police, taking two krak dillers of the bus, undressing and searching thru there bodies - all in our clear sight from the bus. and if it´snot enough - every two hours a stop by the police to check if there is more - that included checking our friends passports and taking off the bus an australian girl to open her bag, trying to open everybodies bags (except mine - it was too heavy, and to well locked that it was the only bag they didn´t try to open or mess with...) after all that we arrive in florianopolis and very fast found a guy to rent us an apartment to stay in - but before everybody (except me) didn´t have any local money so they had to go treking thru the city to find a place that excepts traveler checks - all our bags on us going up hill to a place i didn´t even need to go - i almost killed some one there from being so mad and tired, and hurting!!!! when it was all over and we got to barra de lagua - a beach on the paninsula near florianopolis (i can´t remember the name of the place now) all we did was go to eat and sleep (unlike buses in argentina - this long night bus didn´t includ meals or a  movie, or even comfterble sits to sleep on - even if they are still better then in israel....).

the next day was passover eve - all day was about making sure everything will be ready for the meal - meytal and i found ourselfs all they in the kitchen - cooking!!!! the meal was nice - there was even mazas and haruset!!!! and for the morning after we had mazas with israeli elit cow choclate to put on it!!!! (a gift the roys´girlfriend came with from israel....).

so i´m allready 2 days in this amaizing place, 50 meters from the beach, and yet i havn´t seen it!!!! what is wrong with me?????????? after waking up eating maza with choclate i finally discoverd brazils´beaches!!!! but as my luck will have it having a sunny day was too much to ask for - it was hot and very bright - but the sun wasn´t the summer sun i was excpecting, like there is in israel - it seems that where ever i´ll go in brazil from now on there will allways be a cloud to block the sun!!!! well it is after all my bad - i came out of seson to brazil....

well the rest of the days were spent sleeping late - hoping there will be sun to go to the beach, playing card games till the early hours of the morning, talking playing the gittar, and all over again.... and that is about it from barra de lagua. by the why this was also the place where meytal and i said goodbye to the guys and kept on our own (after having a bit of an argument with the guys...).

on the 15th of the month we woke up, took our bags and went on our way....
