Manaira Beach Morning Swim
This morning we went down to the beach. Abby and Zoë have tried the pool on the roof, and now they wanted to try the beach. It wasn't overly warm out, almost 81 F / 26 C degrees. With the wind it felt much cooler. The water was not cold, but not lukewarm either, but once you got it, it was very nice and refreshing. At certain points the water is warmer, and cooler in other spots. So you can really feel how the water is being heated from the sun in the shallow parts. I walked out quite a way with both Abby and Zoë, taking turns allowing them to swim with the waves. It was tons of fun. Mommy didn't go in this time, but thinks Monday morning will be her day to swim. We were only out for about an hour this morning. Zoë was hungry so we headed back to the apartment. We need to try that little kiosk on the way back. I saw a post on wikimapia that said the Açai there has no equal.
Abby @ 4 years, 7 months, 26 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 7 months, 26 days
Enzo expected in 1 month, 14 days

My wife and I like your blog particularly the photos.We have two girls nearly the same age. There are quite a few estrangeiro families here Australian, Dutch, English and American to name but a few nationalities. About every three months we have a get together in different parts of Joao Pessoa. My colleague and I built a website called paraibaparadise becuse we couldnt find any up to date information about Joao Pessoa.
I would like to invite you to take a look and tell us what you think. Our whats on page caters for all ages,though we encourage contributions from people with children.
As an aside there are several beaches which are particularly safe for children; Poços, Cambinha and Coquerinho. Its a good idea to pick up a tide chart from the tourist information office in Tambau or the Salutte Restaurant (a few minutes from your apartment)
I hope our families can meet up sometime.
Welcome to Joao Pessoa.
