This is a typical street in Paraty. Though billed as a quaintly cobbled picturesque town, that's actually cobblers. In reality the roads are paved with gigantic boulders. Pasage is not easy in the rain, wearing flip-flops or after a few of these:
A Caipirinha is a delicious muddle of sugarcane rum, fresh lime, crushed ice and lots of sugar. Drinking one is much like consuming the tastiest fizzy pop of your life. All is well and good until the next morning when you wake up with a mouth as dry as a Muslim wedding and having broken a limb due to the treacherous paving conditions. There doesn't seem to be an existing litigation culture in Brazil. No doubt someone will start one up before long.
