This afternoon we explored another Niterói beach, Itacoatiara. This beach, named by Brazilian natives ages ago, is quite the tongue twister for your average Gringo. The surf had formed an inland pool that kept the kids distracted for hours. When we arrived, it was fairly windy, which made the surf too rough for the kids to enter the ocean.Emily found a mussel shell with some kelp attached to it. When she looked inside, she found some very small crabs.Itacoatiara is beautiful and we  enjoyed ourselves, but I think I prefer Camboinhas.
