Let the real adventures begin!!

Brazil has been fun. Hanging out with family and friends after 2 years away has been a blessing, but we always save time for a crazy trip to explore this beautiful country and escape for a bit.

Last time we were here in 2006 we went north, discovered the great cities and beaches of the State of Bahia. Salvador, Arraial D'Ajuda and Trancoso.

This time we will change directions and head south, to a paradise called Ilha Grande. Ilha Grande is the biggest of 360+ islands located outside the city of Angra dos Reis, a small town south of Rio.

We will be catching a bus to Rio, then another one to Angra and then a ferry to Ilha Grande where we will be chillin' by the beach for a few days, enjoy some snorkling and other great nature-related activities.

Here is more on Ilha Grande...

BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!!!!

Wednesday we will be leaving this paradise and heading to Rio to watch a soccer match between Flamengo (Brazil) vs. Nacional (Uruguay). We will be there...

After the game we'll crash at a buddy's house for the night, enjoy Rio's beaches and more on Thursday and finally catch the bus home at night.

Busy week ahead of us, should be lots of fun!! Stay tuned...
