Mar Grande - Island of Itaparica












To make a long story short..we wanted to experience Carnival, but did not want to party for 10 days straight... so we went to the island of Itaparica, walked around and stumbled on to this place. It's called "Pousada Arco Iris" - It's Paradise! A five minute walk from the ferry boat, or what the locals call the "little boats". It has a great history - over 1500 mango trees and a variety of other plants. Every day we could pick up a mango that just fell from the tree - and very sweet too! The best part is the owner. His name translate: My God - go figure! I was having a problem with his name until I tasted his food - WOW! Every night was 5 star eating! I found myself waking up in the morning, still savoring the prior night's meal and wondering what the day's specialty would be - all before my morning cup of coffee!
