The Redneck Riviera earns it’s nick name honestly and in my opinion it’s the Carolina Redneck’s that make this fabulous beach town so great. Having lived in South Florida for 12 years and only visited Myrtle Beach a couple of times, mostly just a drive-by kind of thing, I was under the impression that the […]

Rio de Janeiro Sunrise
The Marvelous City, as they call it, was all of that and more. We stayed in a nice hotel on the end of Copacabana, every day we explored new beaches and every night we discovered new restaurants. This was my third trip to Rio so I’m starting to get to know the lay of the […]

Carnival in Brazil
We watch the Carnival on TV and follow the scoring and commentary like it were big league sports, the entire country talks about the competition and each day there are highlights on TV. The dancing keeps on going each night until Fat Tuesday (today). Then tomorrow the judges scores will be revealed to the huge […]
Health Club
Clube Paineiras do Morumby In June of 2006, almost the middle of winter here in Brazil, I brought a digital camera to my health club and captured some images of the facility and surrounding vistas. At least 3 days per week I drive for 15 minutes (each way) to visit this awesome recreational resource. On […]
Life in Sao Paulo
I tend to get so caught-up in my day to day life that I often forget that I’m living in Brazil. This didn’t happen in the beginning, I remember waking up during the first few weeks here and thinking; wow! I’m in Brazil. Now after four years in this wonderful place I have to remind […]
Cuisine of Brazil
In the city of Sao Paulo there are purported to be over 3,000 restaurants and featuring foods of every ethnicity you’d find in any world-class city. Certainly the beef is famous and many people have heard of churrasco (a Brazilian counterpart of the barbecue), especially since Brazilian restaurants are now popular throughout the world. What […]
Macumba Beach
The more that you read the more things you will know, the more that you learn the more places you’ll go. ~ Dr. Seuss The world’s record for most surfers riding the same wave simultaneously is 42 and was set at Rico’s Point, Macumba Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the 18th of November 2005. […]
New Year’s Eve in Brazil
Back in my office, sitting at my desk but my mind and spirit are still on the Costa da Sul (South Coast) of Rio de Janeiro and the coolest beach, Macumba Beach (future articles). Meanwhile, back in Sao Paulo the weather is overcast and still wet outside from the rain last night, all night, so […]
Here today, gone to Rio
The past year has been one of the greatest of my life. The growth on personal, strategic and economic fronts has been exceptional. Maybe it was all the people and all the collective work from the past that has propelled Silicon Palms to where it is now, but I say that the past 12 months […]
