Imagine you want to take a survey of the counties nearest to where you live. You're looking to see what churches have works in which cities. Easy enough, right? You whip out your tablet and hunt around on Google Maps. Then you can do some checking for Facebook pages for churches in the cities and towns your researching. Easy peasy! You can even go to the old Yellow Pages website and hunt around. Add in a general web search and you're all set. Not so easy in Northeast Brazil! Many places are just not on the map. Big places, little towns with 200 - 300 houses full of people are not listed on most maps. Google Maps often won't take you properly from Point A to Point B. And once you head down a highway, it quickly goes from asphalt to dirt and rock with no signs telling you what's ahead and where that side road runs off to. If you stop to ask directions, you get a wide variety of answers about what's down the road....

How to Ship a Motorcycle from Brazil

It took us a total of 38 days from the time our son's motorcycle was delivered to the shipper until it flew out. If you have a few weeks on hand to sit on the beach and watch the sea turtles at Praia do Forte, drive to Salvador and get in touch with Eliane Ramos of Cargo Line Comex Email: Comercial@cargolineba.com.br There are several things to consider that made it a little easier for our son, Will Atha, to ship his KTM Adventure bike out of Brazil and back to the USA after an overland trip earlier this year. Factor #1: His mother lives in Brazil and loves to research things on the internet, and she was able to make many of the payments necessary through a Brazilian bank app system called Pix. the mother who lives in Brazil Factor #2: Will has dual citizens...

Toca da Barriguda Cave

My husband and I live in the little interior town of Sobradinho - Bahia. To be quite honest there isn't a whole lot to speak of when it comes to tourism. There's the giant electric dam and its resulting great big reservoir which is supposedly the biggest in Latin America. There's a place way down a dirt road with some cave drawings on a few rocks where if there is a good rainy season you can enjoy a small waterfall. And there are lots of goats and sheep. Fazenda Campo Verde But not too far from us is the town of Campo Formoso which is full of caves and interesting rock formations. Many of the caves are poorly marked and hardly explored. Websites tell you that it's best to hire a guide. That's very true. You'll need one just to figure out where to turn off the road because of the lack of signs. I think there used to be nice signs, but the local guides took them down to help the industry - their industry. I could be enti...
