When Mother Nature doesn’t want to cooperate, there is
nothing one can do. You just go with the
flow, so during a project trip to Brasil in January 2011, at the recommendation
of my client, I booked some R&R at the Txai Resort. North of Rio and on the coast of the state of
Bahia, south of Salvador, the resort is hidden in the surfing town of Itacaré.
It’s the place where the truly indiscriminate Paulistas (the
name given to those from Sao Paulo) go to disconnect from it all … even from
their very own kind … if you know what I
mean. It’s a place
where all pretention is left behind because one is there to enjoy nature, the
gastronomical food and the fabulous weather.
It’s a place to collect one’s thoughts and to let yourself be in the
natural world that surrounds you. Just
what I like!!!
But as luck would have it, during my time in Sao Paulo, horrendous
and deadly rains and mudslides affected the area and before getting to Txai, I
hesitantly cancelled my stay there and ended in Rio cloistered in my hotel room
at the Fasano … not bad, but not Txai either!
So here I leave you with some wishful images of the paradise that is Txai. Talvez
eu vou ver você lá.
