150 to 200 miles inland, the lush Brazilian coastal band has turned into what is called the Sertao. It means dryland, and is famous for some of the most devestating droughts on earth. In other countries, when you mention the US, the images of TV, and cities like LA and New York are the first thing people think of.
In the US, when Brazil in mentioned, Jungle, or Beaches, or Rio de Janeiro are what comes to mind, but there is so much of Brazil beyond the beaches and big cities.
Click on the pic above and follow it to the Sertao Set in flickr to see some of what we saw on our three hour bus ride.

We took these photos from the bus window as we returned from Lajedo to Recife.
(Please accept my apologies for taking pics through the bus window, but I couldn’t get the driver to pull over and let me take shots of all the beautiful stuff we saw.)
