I love Brazil, Cuba and Mexico.

Here are some photos from Brazil, Cuba and Cancun, I think these are some of the most interesting places on the planet. Two other wonderful locations are Koh Samui in Thailand and the Amalfi coast in Italy, but I will keep those photos for another day.

Allow me to clarify my thoughts on Cancun, it is a great base to either jump across to Cuba or to take tours to various Mayan ruins, or if you are inclined, go skuba diving. As far as the resort itself goes, there are many other beach locations that are better value and more ... (more)

Rod I am sorry I have taken so long to reply, the restaurant is in Ipanema, one or 2 streets past the Ocean park hotel towards Leblon, turn right and walk a couple of blocks in and it is on the right hand side of the street. I just got home from Brazil again last week, my 5th trip.

Are you a professional photographer? Great pictures. I enjoyed them. I love Hawaii, New Zealand, Alaska and British Columbia....going to try Brazil for the first time May 14. Any suggestions you have, please e-mail me. By the way, can I find a male companion from Bolivia? Am planning to do Rio, Parati, Buzios, Ilha Grande, Florianaopolis, and the Falls, ride the train in Curitiba to Paranagua (thru mountains to the seacoast). Thanks again! Alexsandra
