A few things around Recife and São Lourenço

Just a few of our pictures of this beautiful city we're living in...
This is a picture of Marco Zero in Recife Antigo.  It's a beautiful historical part of the city with a lot of really beautiful buildings.
This is a little view of São Lourenço from a different part of the city than where we live.  We actually live around the top right corner, but were out visiting some other people who had a great view of the city from their roof.  The blue church in the middle is a really old Catholic church in the center of town.

 Another part of Recife Antigo with an awesome bookstore and shopping mall.
 Olinda! And all the pretty colorful houses.  Who wants to paint their house like these?
 There's a huge market in downtown Recife where you can buy just about anything.  There are lots and lots of fruit vendors, spice vendors, and random craft vendors.  It's a pretty fun place to look around.

The beautiful beach at Boa Viagem.  You can sit under the umbrellas and order agua de coco (the water that's inside the coconut).  Most of those buildings are residential.
