Brazil

Hello everyone! We made it to Brazil! The 10 hour flight was long, but we made it. Our hotel is really nice and has an awesome breakfast. Zack's friend Jefferson and his wife Sara have been really great to us. They took us home yesterday and fed us, and today they took us all over town doing stuff. We went to the Brazil Independence museum and park. It was beautiful. We walked around looking for the monkeys they say are in the park, but we didn't see any. Today I tried coconut water (it's a little wierd tasting, but not too bad) and this stuff called caldo de cana, which is juice from sugar cane. When I first tasted it it was awful. Kind of like drinking water with grass in it and a little sugar. Then they added a little bit of fresh squeezed lemon, and it was delicious. It tasted like really sweet lemonade. It was so fun. And tomorrow we are hopefully going to the zoo. I am trying to learn as many words in portugese as possible, but it's difficult. We are missing Ady like crazy, but she is having fun at grandma and grandpa Larson's house. We watch the video we have of her everyday. Anyway, all is going well and we are safe. We love you all.
