The next get-together will take place in two weeks time on Sunday the 7th August, starting about 1pm and finishing by 7pm, at “Bessa Brasil”, Avenida Artur Monteiro Paiva, 1320 Bessa, telephone number (83) 3245 3742. This is the one-way street that runs along the sea front in Bessa.
Bessa Brasil is the first restaurant on the left, it is not one of the bars on the beach. Here is a map.
There will be a covered area reserved for us and there is a child’s play area, they also have a website with some information about their menu. There will be the usual book and DVD exchange, we would once again like to give people the option to bring 1Kg of non-perisable food or a child’s toy that we will donate to a local ONG working in Joao Pessoa (also we would be very happy to accept any clothes and shoes).
The last get-together at Marinas went well and we would like to thank all those who attended. I forgot to take my cameras, but Colin and Jim both took pictures and video. Unfortunately I am unable to access them from here, but will post them on the site as soon as I can.
There is a new website about Intermares that some people may be interested to read, it is in Portuguese but translates well. It is called A voz de Intermares (the voice of Intermares), it is a place for local people to chat about local events, well worth keeping an eye on if you live in that area.
Items for sale: there is a section in the website forum with many items for sale, take a look, there is everything from fishing gear to fridges, bikes, cars and many household items.
