Alrighty!
I just came back from a brilliant weekend with friends, lots of bugs, beautiful beaches, dunes,and good food :)
On the last minute, when i thought i'd have to spend the weekend sitting home doing nothing, a good friend of mine called and asked if i wanted to go with them to his beach house in Mangue Seco, Sergipe, right after Bahia. Honestly at first i thought i wouldn't go, but then i had to ask myself for a better reason why not to, cause i had literally nothing to do at home and even though i do not love to go to the beach, it couldnt be such a bad option after all..and there i went, and there's no regrets! :)
You know, when you think you say a lot of "no" and not so many "yes" to things, you should try to re-think that. Saying more yeses gives you more oportunities and a lot more good memories. I'm saying this cause i think of myself as someone who usually says more "no" than "yes", or i used to do so. I just added saying more yes on my ever lasting to do list, along with the less partying and more travelling i mentioned before.

It was great seeing friends i havent seen in such a long time, have a good laugh at pretty much all times and just chill :)
On the first day we chilled at the beach close to the house till the sun was almost out. It was a good way to start.. day two was the day of the confederate cup's finals! we watched it together while me and two others were cooking dinner and preparing a evening BBQ, that after another whole day at this beach called Ponta do Saco, where river meets the sea, yup, we had it all!!

To get to Ponta do Saco beach on the second day, we rented two dune buggies, crossed the dunes and after about 15 to 20 mins we finally got there. If you have the chance to visit this place, know that there's no eletric energy at the beach or bars with it hahaha there's only a floating bar and a few other bars on the beach, but other than that there's not much at the beach. It is suuuch a paradise, a place to go and forget about everything else. It's quite deserted really, you wont see many people there, wich is nice (i like deserted places, quiet places).

After such relaxing day, cooking that dinner was easy!! ;) And also fun, cause Brazil won the match against Spain. (i still think that was bought though...) We ate like hell, drinked a whole lot of wine and went to bed already missing the weekend that was just ending..still, what a great one it was!! Perfect touch to my summery winter.
Next time i write here i'll most likely be back in Rio.. winter break is almost over :'' So sorry for the extremely long post, but i wanted to show as much as i could of this lovely place. Hope you enjoy and that onde day you can visit this paradise yourself :))
ps.all the pictures were taken by me, yesshhhh.
Cheerie Cheers,
Jess
