bye rio....

The last few hours in Rio before heading up to Salvador. It´s been great and has actually reminded me of the bay area and australia, as there is a mixing pot of people from all backgrounds and cultures. The people are nice and the weather has been great, even in the end of winter (except for the occasional rain). We did not get to do everything we had planned for but that just means I will have to come back, with Jenn next time of course. Things to never forget about this first leg of this trip in Brazil....

• The great bus and metro lines, and only having to hop into 4 cabs during the whole 9 days
• Ipanema beach on a sunny day
  
• The churros filled with duce de leite, out of this world.
• The hots dogs topped with everything you can think of.
• The acai smoothies
• The warm and open CS group in rio
• The streets filled with people in lapa at 3:30 in the morning
  

Off to Salvador......
