A Night at the Beach

Filed under: Lisa in Brazil - February 2nd, 2006

Recently during my travels in Brazil I was staying near Camburi. This is a very beautiful location with beautiful beaches, hot weather, and great night life. One night I decided to go to a night club called Galeao. I also walked around the downtown area which was crowded with people everywhere. There were many street vendors selling things from jewelery, to food, to alcoholic drinks. After walking around I decided it was time to go dance and have some drinks at the club. The night life at the clubs doesn´t usually start until around 12 or later.

Once inside Galeao I was so impressed. The bar isn´t completely closed off from the outside. Many places in the bar you can look up and see the sky. There was also a seperate room that I enjoyed a lot because they played popular american music.

Inside this club there were many beautiful people drinking and laughing. I also ran into many people who spoke english. The prices of drinks vary from bar to bar. Here, they were around $5 reals for a beer, and $6 for a Smirnoff Ice. They also serve tequila for $9 reals. To get into this club was one of the most expensive clubs I have been to. It is $27 reals for girls, and even more for men.

When we left the club around 3:30-4:00 am, the downtown was still just as busy. Since the club is located on the beach, we decided to go for a walk in the sand.

Once we got to the beach, we saw so many groups, each with 15-40 people. We joined into one of the circles where there was one guy playing the guitar and many more singing along.

It was an amazing time, and everyone I met was extremely friendly and open to meeting new people and trying their best to communicate with us.
