Final Observations and Thoughts from My Vacation in Recife, Brazil

I officially arrived back in the United States this past Sunday morning after a 2-week vacation in Recife, Brazil. During that time, I experienced both the weather and the food in Recife as I shared in my two previous blog entries about this trip. However, during my last week in Recife, I got out to see more of Recife beyond just the mile or two near the AirBnB where I stayed. Here are my final observations and thoughts from my recent trip.

Having now stayed here about a week, here are my TOP 5 general observations so far from my current trip to Recife, Brazil.
