Hello from the beautiful little seaside resort town of Armacao Dos Busios-- known more simply as just "Buzios" -- about a three hour drive from Rio! It has a population of 24,000 and one of their "claims to fame" is tied to Bridgette Bardot. She came here with her Brazilian boyfriend in an attempt to excape the paparazzi of Rio with a single photographer who was allowed to document their vacation. It turns out she so loved the area that she stayed for several months. It's supposed to be a "happening" nightspot, but our ship sails as the sun will be setting and the nightclubs opening!
We went over by tender just before a large Royal Caribbean ship anchored. We had a delightful time walking around town AND surprise, surprise--- we went shopping.
The first two photos are the cute creations by our stewardess last night that were on our beds when we returned from dinner!
We've had the privilege the last three nights of sitting at a "hosted" table by one of the ship's "celebrities". Tonight we'll be with one of the vocalists on board. Last night we were with a GREAT and interesting group of people at another singer's table. She was just delightful and had interesting stories to tell about Costa Concordia. She knew the musician who went back for his violin and subsequently drowned on the Concordia.. Very sad.... But she said his instrument was his livelihood and his life --- and it cost him his life. She had served a lot of contracts on the Costa ships and had been on the Concordia but fortunately not that particular voyage.
Tomorrows stop will be Vitoria. Stay tuned for info on Vitoria tomorrow night!
