Trancoso, Brazil

Some R&R in Brazil for Paula and Fred's wedding

UXUA HOTEL

Long story short: we had originally booked a small hotel near the beach in Trancoso. Let's just say that when we showed up it wasn't commensurate to our #engagemoon (see Peru Inca Trail post) celebrations. So I called up Uxua Hotel...turns out a couple of Canadians hadn't realized you need a Visa for Brazil and therefore had to forfeit their 2-bedroom villa (sorry, eh). Their loss was our gain!

Within minutes of being here Julie spotted Anderson Cooper, who is a regular guest apparently...we had arrived.

Our very own pool and day bed, tough life

Our private outdoor living/dining room, usually this messy

Coffee and cakes laid out every day. The light in this room was just 👌🏼

You can tell Julie felt so miserable being here

the quadrado ('Town square')

São João Batista church, where Paula and Fred tied the knot the next day

A tree full of dream catchers

Beach souvenirs

The Quadrado, with São João Batista church at the end. There's a 2-year waiting list to get married here

We had breakfast by the pool every morning. Ugh
