We live close to Natal, in a rural setting, just would like to meet our ex-pat neighbors, if we had any. Jay and Claudia

@ClaudiaMonica Enjoy!

I have only one item left on my Bucket List. That is to get a Dune Buggy from WAKE SUPER BUGGY NATAL. They make the coolest dune buggys in all of Brazil. Check it out.

Welcome to the "neighborhood" @ClaudiaMonica. Rural, urban, beach or interior, the northeast is an incredible place.

I live inland from João Pessoa. My wife and I are huge fans of the whole region but currently focus a lot on the interior "caatinga," a fascinating semi-arid gem.

Hello Matt and Veronica,

Yay, it's good to hear that you are there and enjoying it. My husband doesn't speak much Portugues, i make do, since I am originally from Buenos Aires, but lived in the States most of my life. If you would like to chat, here is Jay's whatsapp 84 98112-4799, and of course give us a holler if you both come up this way. Be well, Claudia and Jay

@mberigan We live on the island of Itamaracá down the BR101 from you! How far inland in PB are you - we visited Pai Mateus a while back - very nice!

Peter, Pai Mateus is a great place to experience the semi-arid "caatinga" biome. I spend a lot of time in that area currently.

I'm familiar with Itamaracá. The beaches around there are great low-tide places for kids. But I have to admit it has been 20+ years since I've been there.

Claudia, I'll send a note to Jay. Isn't there a bit of an Argentinian contingent there in Pipa? Before passing, I had a good friend in PB from Argentina: Lia Monica Rossi was a talented person who documented what is called Art Déco Sertanejo, an architectural design found around the northeast but currently in rapid decay. Search it up.
