We're back!

WOW. What a week...

We're finally back in Vitória, taking it easy today after a week of traveling and partying.

Ilha Grande was top notch. We will need a second round with more time in our hands to finish exploring this place. Pictures from our snorkling adventure are to be developed, but here are the ones from our trip to the island...

Wednesday we headed back to Rio and caught a Flamengo match against Nacional (Uruguay). The game was a must win situation for Flamengo to move forward in the Copa Libertadores, a competition between the top teams in South America. 2x0 Flamengo, good times. I'm still working on uploading the videos from the madness in the stands, but here are the pictures from the game.

Thrusday we visited Rio's Botanical Garden, a site we have been trying to see every trip but never really made it. Very laid back, beautiful place. Here are some of the pics of Jardim Botanico....

Back in Vitória on Friday, we only had a chance to relax a bit, get the clothes that were not dirty back in the backpack and off we went again to Guarapari. We had a great friend as the event coordinator for a huge weekend party for college students from all over Brazil, so everything was free and we could not pass on this one... Party all night long and then watch the sun come up, you can't beat it!! Here are the pictures in Guarapari....

Sleeping on our own bed last night never felt so good...
