Antonina, Brazil

This is the last stop on the tour from Curitiba that began with the train ride and ends on a mini bus to Morretes and finally Antonia. The town of Antonia has a lovely view of the ocean and the streets are lined with electric colored houses and stores, especially in the tourist areas. As always, the prime view of the ocean is from the church. The son of one of my fellow travellers on the bus trip back to Curitiba, was fascinated with me - a chance to try out his few English expressions - "You should be ashamed" and "hello." I won't begin to try to analyze why someone would teach "You should be ashamed" to a kid learning English. Curiouser and curiouser. Happy Trails for now.
