Sleeping with the fishes

I´m currently in Bonito, a Brasilian town renowned for it´s eco-activities. Yesterday saw me floating down a river looking at fishees. They were pretty.

Now, some interesting facts:

*Many, many Brasilians can´t swim - yet they all go to the beach/swimming place.

*Brasilian bikinis are tiny - yet they´d NEVER go topless. (Much as a North American or European would NEVER wear a Brasilian bikini)

*It´s okay to wander around in this tiny bikini (or speedo), but NEVER in your underwear. (i.e. there´s even a sign in the hostel specifically prohibiting people from walking around naked OR in their underwear.)
