Lagoa do Piri, Florianópolis, Brazil

There are beautiful flowers everywhere in Floripa.









Thiago and Elias (Chileno)
Elias is an awesome musical improvisor, he has an incredible ear, it was relief to play with him.
We rocked the better half of Southern Floripa the night before with our jam session.









Praia da Armação




A conservation project aimed at protecting the Green Turtle.




Green Turtle, they are called Green Turles because of the color of their fat.




This little guy was being released right when I got there, I was very lucky to have seen him.




Josi and the little Green Turtle. Josi works with the conservation project.









Elias keeping our attention.




The sign says, "Welcome, Big Sack South of the Island". Everything's the same price,
they just weigh your big sack, it's like 60 cents a pound for fresh organic fruits and vegetables,
one could live here on almost nothing, and alot of the people here do.




The hill up to Elias' house. This had to be almost 45 degrees.





Elias' Kitchen and bathroom




Elias' Bedroom. He lives there for free, he has a friend from Spain that lets him stay there rent free.
He just plays his Guitar, Cavaquinho, and violin for money.




Lot's of interesting insects, I saw a bunch of bird sized butterflys, but they wouldn't stop for a picture.




Elias' Shack on the hill.




This plant with burn the hell out of you, if you touch it.














One of the most hallucinogenic plants on the planet.
Elias knows someone who remained mentally retarded after taking this drug with Alcohol.



















Thiago and Juliana, everyone here plays something, this is my type of community.
