Parati, Brasil

This 17th century colonial town will purportedly earn UNESCO World Heritage Site status by next year, and justly so.  Its beautifully preserved and pedestrian-only Old Town is lined with the same rough stones as when it was built.

Today we experienced a wonderful all-day sail in the huge bay, exploring among the hundreds of islands scattered like pbebbles among the emerald-green water.  Lunch was particularly memorable at an island that is home to nothing but one restaurant.  After we anchored, the restaurant sent a launch to collect us, and soon we were digging into the succulent local shrimp, calamari and fantastically fresh fish.

Back on land, we stopped for a creamy gelato before meandering back to our lovely pousada.  On tap for tomorrow:  a jeep tour of the nearby rainforest.
