Autumn in Florianopolis
There is a noticeable difference to the 'feel'/'atmosphere' in Jurere since we returned from Buenos Aires. The weather is very mixed. It can be cold and wet one day and really hot the next day.

However, most Brazilians no longer go on the beach and there are not so many people out in the evenings. A Brazilian woman that we know said that in the summer she runs the length of the beach and back (5 kms) every day - but when the weather is cold she just wants to stay in, eat cake and drink wine. She was complaining about putting on weight. I was definitely able to sympathize with this, but we do still go on the beach most days if the tide is not too high - and it is wonderful to have it almost entirely to ourselves. It looks different every time we go. This photo was taken at sunset yesterday.
