Lol, indeed. It so happens that everyone there, including me, have some Germany blood. The others much more than me, like they have even those Hoffmann-like surnames. The odds in my behalf are stranger still - I also have african blood, but it seems it wasn't enough to paint me darker.

Thanks! That was indeed a very funny trip. This was a small group of us that lingered a bit more. The others, around 25 people, left earlier that day to visit other beaches or go home due work.
Not long after that, we got a very intense traffic which took us 6 hours to go over 80km. No wind, no air conditioning in the car and it was very, very hot. It also rained, so we couldn't keep the car windows down all the same, so those 6 hours stretched like a year before long.

I suggest this place for vacations. It has many good (and luxury) resort hotels in there and it's considered one of the most beautiful beaches of Santa Catarina, great for surfing. The name is Praia do Rosa and Praia da Ferrugem. The pic shows an overview of Rosa with a salty lake nearby. On that lake, there's a hill where many hotels are built one over the other, so you have a beautiful view. The sun rises on the sea.
This pic was taken when we we arriving at the beach, while the other pic I posted above was taken when we had already left that place, around 30 km away.
