After crossing the Atlantic today in the morning we docked in Recife in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. We are already on the southern hemisphere. It is very hot and humid. Strong sun shines… It is my third visit in Recife – nice to refresh memories of the tropical city, where the port is located right in the old town. But the old sources of free internet disappeared so I was forced to ask for the password the charming black waitress in the cafe opposite Marco Zero – the distance marker from Portuguese time. Few more colonial building are restored and it is still strong presence of the police on the streets – watch you pockets – you are in Brazil! Local authorities appreciate the tourism – in the old city I met at last 30 girls distributing city maps, usually they do not speak English, but all are very polite.. I am doing well. Tomorrow we will be in the port of Maceio…
