Buzios Day 2:
This morning was very windy and cool. The rain is lazy and on and off today. Still a beautiful place. I want to stay longer!
Today we did a bit of sightseeing(and not-seeing) on the coast. The beach we went to was a long shallow stretch, accompanied by some stand alone islands that were said to have created by a volcano long ago. They told us some more about the research project at the university, and then we visited another marsh site. This one was covered by water some years ago, and now it holds up a road and coastline homes. The university is interesed in the artifacts that lie beneath the surface here, and wants to get them out before developers start to build. However, others believe that the area will once again get covered by the ocean waters.
Our tour, not as effective as everyone had hoped, was indeed a little draining. I am still very tired.

Eats, shopping...
Buzios is beatiful, but again you see here the abject poverty, clashing with the lifestyle of tourists and wealthier Brazilians.
