Praia do Engenho

Praia do Engenho is a beach north of Sao Paulo. A group of us hired one of the school bus drivers to take us there in a small mini bus. Shortly after leaving school the bus broke down, which delayed us for about 3 hours. What should have been a 3-4 hour trip took us about 8. We were also delayed becuase it was a very foggy and slighlty frightening trip through some mountainous areas. The road that lead us to the beach hotel was made of yellow-orange clay and because it had rained so much there were these huge potholes that made for a very bumpy ride. This picture of the path to the beach was just a short distance from where we stayed.
