Last Day in Paraty

During our last full day in Paraty (Sunday) we went out on this boat with some guys from our hostel and visited a bunch of the small islands that surround Paraty.  It was awesome, and super cheap--only 20 reals each ($13 US) for about 6 hours on the boat.  Below are some pics from the day.

  View from one of the islands. We had beers but the local woman also sold coconut water (which seems to be popular in Brazil)...by coconut water, I mean she would hack open the coconut with a machete enough to  stick in a straw and they would drink it  right out of the coconut itself - we tried to take a picture but the woman was too shy and wouldnt let us

 
Our magical ride through the islands and sea, complete with deluxe sunbathing roof (where we all got fried)

That night, the five of us had a barbeque and made Caipirinha, a specialty of Brazil:
