Not Normal

Do regular people have three randoms from three different states drop by their house on a friday afternoon? Do they? Then the three randoms drag you to a show a mile from your house? Do they? Then suggest the last supper at a diner past 3am? ...

I have to finish updating Rio, and this past weekend. In the mean time, please look at my digital shots from Rio!

Fantastic Weekend

I was shaky the whole week. I was trying to skim off the post Brazil shock. How could one enter back into American society after an experience overload such as Carnaval? It was not easy. I needed freedom and no responsibility -- quick. The ...

Best Vacation

We are all safely back in the northern hemisphere. Boooo. I want to be back on the beach in Ipanema. Seriously. Last week might have been the best Holiday of my life. There was so much jam packed into a short short 8 days. As soon as we ...

Feira de Sao Cristovao

We had one day left in Rio de Janeiro. We could not go to the beach because; we needed to gather presents for friends. I guess we could have gone to the beach, but all our gear was packed away into the packs. So Sad. Our plan was the Hippie ...

Our Last Night In Rio de Janeiro

Jardim Botanico

La Bamba Meets Samba

Herb, Matt, and I spent six hours sleeping on the beach of Ipanema. The beach is a better place to sleep then the hostel. Herczeg stayed behind for whatever reason. Bad decision I say. Later in the day, we relaxed at the hostel with Scott, ...

VIPs Go Hang Gliding

Thursday, we continued the fun in Rio by taking in the city from the air. We went to Ipanema to catch a few rays at the beach. What else are we suppose to do? *Thumbs Up* Rio is known as the best

Furia Jovem do Botafogo

Yesterday was a recovery day for me. My fever had subsided, and I was feeling normal except a few pains from football on the beach. The sun was not shining as bright so, I took some time to walk around and take pictures. Later in the day, ...

Beach Soccer In Botafogo

Yesterday, I only had four hours of sleep. I was relaxing downstairs in the patio with Steve, Malcom, Kat, and Dan starting around 230pm. The sun was still shining bright, and it looked like everyone was going to the beach. Scott arrived back ...

Samba e Carnaval

Monday night, we had tickets to Sector 13 of the Sambadrome. The hostel all decided to go out before. We wanted to watch the schools perform for the last half of the night. Herb, Matt, and I got seperated because; we had to go back to get our ...

Ipanema Is Impeccable

"What the crap is that? Oh, its just a coconut." I said this to myself at 4am this morning at Ipanema. We were at a party till sunrise - on the beach. Rio!!! Yesterday was all about Ipanema. I went to the beach. I went to a parade. I ...

Lapa Rock Show

Last evening was spent chillin in the Easy Hostel patio. We didn't let the rain damper our partying moods. We helped the hostel staff put up a tarp across the entire patio. I met a lot of people - Malcom, our resident Australian, Sunni and ...

Botafogo is Easy
