Driving south, to Rio, we thought of contact the "beer brothers" as we assumed they were somewhere near. And they were! We joined them at Manguinhos, a sleepy fisherman village with a big city just around the corner. They surprised us as they were practically staying at this couple's house... on the beach. Soon after we were part of the house too! Fish and chips one day, lamb BBQ (a la estaca) another day, musaka in our home later on and finishing off with an aussie brunch - vegemite included! that we cooked for them. It was so difficult to leave! A genuine, friendly, Oh so happy and open home. Three days later we are on the road again... but a promise to get together for Carnival in Rio. Let's see, I may be able to tick off a huge dream, to be part of a scola do samba!
