Recife and Maceio Brazil

These two large Cities did not inspire us at all, which wasn't necessarily their fault. We chose an excursion called the highlights of Recife and the adjoining city of Olinda. Unfortunately it turned out to be a visit to 3 churches which were quite good but we did not get much of a chance to see anything much  as we were cramped into mini vans most of the time. The first photo is interesting as it depicts Jesus Christ as a baby being circumcised. Most of the photos are taken in Olinda looking back to Recife.
Today when we berthed in Maceio, it looked okay, so we took the shuttle to town where there was nothing open because it is Sunday, however it was easy to see what the locals do on Sundays! they go to the beach? It was packed, but no one lies on the beach, they all have umbrellas and lazy boys. Yesterday we were entertained by a local song and dance troupe. It was very enjoyable! our cruise is rapidly coming to an end, we have two days  at sea and we disembark on Wed. Morning in Rio, Bugger!!!!!!!!
