Postcard from Brazil.
Dolphins abound in Fernando de Noronha's Baía dos Golfinhos.
Pernambuco was once the richest state in Brazil, but that was centuries ago. Now it is re-emerging as an attractive tourist destination with beautiful beaches and some colonial architecture. The island paradise of Fernando de Noronha is now officially part of the state of Pernambuco. Much of it is a protected national park, and only a limited number of tourists may visit the island at any particular time. Pernambuco's son Luiz Gonzaga made Forró music popular throughout Brazil.
