Parati with Auntie Sarah

We spent last week in Parati with Auntie Sarah visiting us. Parati is a beautiful little colonial beach town. It used to be a main shipping port when gold was first discovered in Brazil and it has retained a lot of its colonial charm from those days - narrow cobblestone streets and small stone houses. But modern times have brought high-end boutiques, souvenir shops and restaurants. We spent our days touring the town, and touring the beachfront by boat. You can take a schooner out for the day to the local beaches where there are lots of places to play.
