His house is a modern, self built, beach home built up on the east side of the hill that overlooks the Atlantic. His garden is filled with Brasilian tropical vegetation and houses a workshop on the bottom of the slope. His plans our to build a room and bath onto the workshop and an outdoor patio in order to have motorcyclists come to visit while on the road. This is very similar to the place in Azul where we had the Biker Birthday, and Dakar Motos where my motorcycle was repaired.
The BBQ was fantastic, and a lot of beer went down in the warm evening. The company, like all of the people I have met thus far in Brasil, are incredibly warm and empathetic. It would have been very easy to have spent all of my time for this trip, in Brasil alone. It is that welcoming.

Hart has been a great help. He has given us the contact information to other XT riders in northern Brasil, in order to help us out with problems if they occur.
Later that evening, we walked down the beach and heard live Samba coming from the local bar. We took a late night swim in the ocean and watched the stars twinkle over the surf. All of those great beach shots in the posters at the cold KC airport that you look at in disgust as you leave to Detroit...well, I finally made it.
