In Recife they have a portion of the city where they still have original structures constructed by the Dutch and Portuguese during the early settlement. The architecture throughout this downtown spot of town is heavily influenced by the Europeans and you know right away that you're walking through the original buildings which is the same as the early Europeans hundreds of years before us. We visited the first Jewish synagogue built in the Western hemisphere and learned more about the culture and history of the Jews here in Brazil. Following that visit, we went on a boat ride and saw this old part of the city from the perspective of the sea. I'm going to be honest, I didn't listen to much that the tour guide lady had to say, all I did was enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the boat ride.
