Can't lose(ios) in Buzios

Buzios is a popular vacation spot about 2.5 hrs east of Rio de Janeiro. I had the pleasure of visiting this past weekend. Thankfully it is winter time and the place is relatively empty. Why go to the beach during the Brazilian winter? Because it regularly reaches 27 Celsius (80F)! The picture above is of the inn where I stayed. It cost US$8 per night and was within 200 meters of a beautiful beach. Not bad!
