Last day in Brazil

After Iguassu Falls we had one last day in Rio. Kristy and I decided to go the Sugar Loaf while the boys relaxed. It was a great view from the top.





While we were waiting for the boys there was a school group on a field trip. I noticed they kept looking at Kristy and me. Finally they had their teacher ask us if they could take pictures of us. I remember people asking if they could take pictures with me when I was young and blonde but that has not happened for at least 15 years. I think it was mostly because of my blonde hair which was a unique in South America. Anyways I was surprised they wanted to take pictures with us since we are aging:) Neverless we gladly said yes and I seriously felt like a movie star. All the kids (proably around 20+) wanted to take pictures and they kept saying "you are beautiful" in their broken english. Talk about a confidence booster! When our husbands got there Kristy and I were seriously feeling awesome. Then someone asked Shawn if we were related to Miley Cyrus and Shawn told them in Portuguese that of course we were her cousins. Well all of the kids and teachers whipped out their cameras and started talking more pics. Shawn thought he was pretty funny. I am sure we are some facebook or blog saying we are cousins with Miley oh boy.....


We went to a museum that used to be the President's house. The inside of the mansion was really neat.


We loved the juice in Brazil! So good! Here we are enjoying our fresh juice.




Our last stroll on the beach. The sand felt like brown sugar. We loved to walk along the beach and people watch. You see some interesting things. There was this couple that was cracking us up. They got into the water fully clothed shoes and all. They were having the time of their life. It was seriously really cute. We never got in the water in Rio because everything you read says not too. I guess they dump lots of garbage into the water and it is really unhealthy for you. It is a shame because the sand and beaches are amazing. But there were still lots of people enjoying the water.




The end of our Brazil trip. I have to add that the food was amazing and I wish I had taken more pics of the food and restaurants we ate at. One of my favorite parts about traveling is meeting other people. We met a lovely couple from South Africa that we have stayed in contact. I love meeting people from all over the world. Lastly I have to say that Kristy and Travis are the best travel buddies. They kept us laughing the entire trip. I am already planning our next trip in 3 years (Germany here we come, okay not for 3 more years....). They are very easy going and we loving chatting and hanging out with them. We are seriously blessed to have such good friends. Chow.
