Nathan and I went sans children to the culturally rich hub of Bazil- Rio de Janeiro (pronounce hee-o day Shy-neigh-though. Go figure!). The highlights were the view of Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf mountain) from Cristo Redentor (one of the New Seven Wonders of the World), learning to dance Samba at the interactive Carnival recreation, an early morning jog by a favela (slum) to see how the locals really live, then playing in the ocean to cool off, and of course, dinner at the Porcao Churrascaria (five star Brazilian BBQ where green means more meat please and red means wait while I watch the soccer game and eat sushi). We had a fabulous time!
More filet mignon please!
Move over Vegas! The salad bar was the most incredible I have ever seen.
Carnival Floats take the whole year and millions of dollars to construct.
Rio is built on rain forest covered mountains that meet the ocean.
Learning to samba was a riot! Notice I am not in full costume and yes, they were 100% Brazilian Bikinis.
Famous Sugarloaf Mountain.

What exactly is a Brazilian bikini? And when do you get your outfit? That trip looks amazing. How fun is your life... seriously.
Count me in next time!
The picture of you with the sugar loaf...100% pure Julie pose!
What a great trip. And nevermind the float, what was that guy's shirt made of?
ok...you do have such a fun life!!!! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Julie! That looks like so much fun! You're way hotter than those brazilian girls (modest is definitely hottest)...I'm sure you showed them up on the dance floor,too!
