Welp… It has been a while since I posted and many things have happened, mostly good. Most days we wake up and look out the window to check the weather and surf. After that we usually head downstairs for breakfast which is always bread and cheese and turkey slices and coffee and sometimes juice and most recently we’ve been adding a fried egg to the mix. After that we usually say ‘Welp, what should we do today?’ Some days we feel ambitious and decide to get on a bus and explore some of the Rio sights. That’s what happened yesterday when we ventured on very slow buses up to the cute neighborhood of Santa Teresa. We walked around and ate sandwiches and delicious ice cream before heading back down and riding our favorite orange Itau bikes to Copacabana where I jumped in the water and then we caught a couple more buses home.

Most days we also check in with our good friends Earl and Samantha to see what they are up to. One day they said, ‘come meet us and we’ll go to Pao de Acucar’. That turned out to be a great idea and lots of fun was had by all. We saw little monkeys and sat in the shade and everything went great.

Some days don’t go nearly as smoothly. On Tuesday we rode the bus to try to get to Santa Teresa, but then it started to pour rain, so we went to a movie which was good and depressing. On those days we usually don’t take many or any pictures.

Other fun moments were:
