*I did this post on a MAC, so sometimes the pictures don't line up with the text if you're viewing this from a PC. So, sorry if it isn't matching up :)
So, this picture is of us "excited" gals in the Sao Paulo airport. We were so glad to be there, and SO incredibly glad to be officially off of that airplane...
When we arrived, we hired a driver in a huge 16 passenger van to drive us from Sao Paulo to Rio that evening. Before hitting the road, we stopped at a road-side store in Sao Paulo to grab our first Brazilian-type grub. Here are the four gals after eating our ham and cheese sandwiches and trying some guarana :)
Along our drive to Rio, we stopped at a Cathedral; a typical tourist destination in that particular area...
When we arrived in Rio, we were STARVING! So, we began walking the streets and came upon BOB'S. It's supposedly Brazil's version of a Burger King. So, this picture is of Sean and I at the infamous BOB'S, enjoying our yummy cold fries, and as you can see...Sean was missing his lovely implant. No worries though, when we returned to the states he was reunited with a new implant and great smile :)
After eating at BOB'S and walking around downtown Rio, we made our way to Copacabana Beach. It was New Year's Eve and the largest New Year's celebration in the world was about to begin. It's Brazilian tradition to wear all white on the night of New Year's, so as you can see, we're participating in the tradition :)
After hanging out down on the beach, we walked back to our condo, which was on the 22nd floor. It overlooked Copacabana and was the PERFECT place to watch the amazing fireworks. What a fun New Year's and AMAZING fireworks show over the ocean
Wow! What a way to ring in the new year! Looks like it was a fabulous trip! Happy New Year!
