Brazil

Okay so I went to Brazil a year ago but my parents tell me that my blog is extremely boring and I should add more stuff. Since my life is not all that exciting I've decided to post some of the pictures from my last trips.


Above is a favela (squatter settlement) in Rio. I happen to be writting a paper about favelas right now for my Anthropology of tourism class.

James caught an itty bitty pirana on the Rio Negro. I ate some while making a very dignified face. Hee hee.













Though the sun shone most of the time, there were occasional downpours . . . and my parents were prepared!







Brazilia was really interesting. The architecture was very cool and the city was built around the car so it was difficult to get around on foot. We were there on the weekend and the city felt really empty. Perhaps it's true that everyone leaves on the weekend to visit family in other cities.

This is a market in Salvador. I think. . . .
