Little Israel

A short entry! Brazil never seizes to amaze me. This morning, I arrived in what can only be described as 'Little Israel'. Brazil has a fairly large Jewish population of its own, but the beach resort of Arraial d'Ajuda is full of Israeli soldiers on holidays, taking a break from the conflict in the Middle East in a sunblessed country that has nothing whatsoever to do with the trouble there. Signs in Arraial d'Ajuda are in Portuguese and Hebrew, and the internet cafés have computers available with Hebrew keyboards.
