Welcome to Saudade Brazil


Welcome back, readers, to Planet Brazil's next incarnation, Saudade Brazil, a place I go to get away from life here in the oftentimes cold, harsh intensity of Washington, DC. I drift down below the equator, and find my place under an umbrella at Piexe Electrico Bar, gaze out at the aquamarine sea lazily lapping the shore; listen in on sing-song Portuguese conversations swirling around me, hoping to catch a new phrase or two; sip a cool, sweet caiperinha and squirt some boiled peanuts into my boca; and then drift off into thoughts, or non-thoughts, about life’s meandering journey – creative, spiritual, psychological, social, and otherwise. Join me, won’t you? Sit down here in the shade of this palm, on Praia Bela, and let’s dig our toes into the cool sand.
