Brazil celebrates the New Year big time. Every city has fireworks displays that are huge. Elci and I watched the fireworks in Porto Seguro from her rooftop deck. We were right in the middle of the action. We spent the weekend in Cabralia, which is about half an hour from Porto Seguro, with Elci's friends Amilcar and Lea. Lea is a good cook. On Sunday afternoon we had a feast of some traditional foods. Afterwards, Amilcar and I went fishing on the river in his 3,5 meter aluminum boat with a 4 HP Yamaha. The mouth of the Rio (river) is separated from the Atlantic by a reef. In the picture you can see waves crashing on the reef as we motored down the river.
