Brazil Trip!

As a last hoorah before we both go back to school this fall, Ross and I decided to go on a trip to Brazil. We were there for 2 weeks, and had a blast. We went to Rio De Janeiro for the first few days,to see the Christ statue and go to the beach. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there, so we ended up wearing ponchos to the beach. We went to the Maracana Stadium, where the next world cup will be, and saw a Brazilian soccer game. The fans were crazy. They lit off fireworks in the stadium. After that we went to the Amazon for 4 days and saw tons of animals, cool plants, and spent a day with an Indian tribe. They selected Ross to wear their palm leaf skirt and do a ritual dance with them. He was so embarrassed, but it was absolutely hilarious. After that we went to Iguazu Falls, which were awesome. I could not believe how much water there was, and it just went on forever. Finally we went Curitiba where Ross served his mission. We visited some of the families that he taught, and went to the temple there. That was really cool, because it was still being built when he left, so he got to see it completed. We had so many pictures that it would take forever to load them all, so here are the few I picked from our trip.
