Las palmeras son altísimas. Recife, ubicada en el noreste de Brasil, resulta cautivadora y la prueba de que el país carioca es mucho más que Sao Paulo y Río de Janeiro. Aquí verá cuestas empedradas, calles elegantes y fachadas de colores. Puede que le encuentre un aire a La Habana, pero está mucho más cuidada.

We set out down the beach under a leaden sky stuffed with clouds. It was 8:00 at night, close to my bedtime (I know, I'm on Costa Rica "country" time).
