Ode to Matadeiro

 

Matadeiro beach is the kind of place you never want to leave. We will, in just ten days, and it kind of breaks my heart when I think about it. The next place is a much nicer house with equally great beach access but it wont be Matadeiro and I can't imagine loving any place like I love this one. I love the 20 minute walk in from our car. I love the crabs and the tides, the big waves and the small ones; the smell of dope, the surfers, the tourists and the guy who pushes the wheelbarrow up and down; the casual beach bars and all the beach dogs; and I love our little camper of a house, tucked back down the trail, with its capybaras, and crazy chicken birds that make a racket every morning, and even its spiders and bugs.
