salvador!

alright so for my summer travelin me and the fam went on a super long rode trip to salvador which consequently was like 3 days travel, no body told me about that part. But i loved every second of it, even the part when my 9 year old brother heaved strawberry yogurt, and i am not going to lie, it didnt smell all that bad either, kind of fruity i would say.

me and my bro pretending to be 10 year old girls with the giggles.

me having a mexican mustache with my headphones
first stop recife! we stopped there just for the night because my hilarious cousin raul and his family lives there, now mind you raul is only 11 but he is probably my best friend in all of brazil. And he is such a stud, he is this little chubby kid who loves every one of his bountiful curves and knows how to work the sensual eye. its great. anyway, recife was a brazilian dream, its this crazy cool city with all kinds of colorful rusitc goods, and not to mention its one of the most famous places on earth for carnaval. party five! wapow!




love!








this would be a billboard that is united states and argentina, with nicolas the exchange student at my house (from argentina) and i



city on the sea!

my host mama and i

coconut stop! so good

i made friends with this little homie, because her brother was playing some exotic instrument and she was giving out braclets, so long story long she gave me a braclet and we became best friends forever.

my host brother figured out how to take pictures in sepia on my camera, and snapped this one :)

alright so this was our boat trip day, where we went to 2 islands and hung out there all day. its was a fantasy and a half, minus the creppy man filming us tourists, to make a video, yeah he got way up in my buisness and after awkwardly filming me all day he decided to hit on me, and tell me that "all he wanted was me" and that he thought it best if we kissed. THINK AGAIN! strange man!

dang brazilian food takes its toll!

the lakey lake

so this summer in my attempt for adventure igor and i found this insane lake, it is an absolute paradise, i am convinced the lock ness monster lives in it. because lets face it, it is probably the most fantastic creation know to man, take that MARCO POLO! anyway igor and i got his fam and friends together and spent the day there eating lemon pie cookies (which are the greatest lemony invention ever) and swimmin.

this would be igors bro touching up on the adventures of marco polo. he loves it.

igor being tall and color cordinatedwe are the same size in the measurment of adventurethe gang

so this is probably one of my favorite pictures ever, because igors brother bruno is infact a model so any chance he gets to work it, he does. so long story long, he is working this tree and making the rest of us look like idiots.ahhh brazilian brothers

igor is simply just making sure i didnt drown like my not so fortunate friend behind us.

sorry for the delay!

alright, my apologizes for not blogging, i have been at my beach house for a month with absolutely no access to the web, but i will be home next week with all the goods!

christmas. new years. joy!

alright alright alright, so heres the low down on my christmas goods!

soookay, In brazil everyone here celebrates christmas on christmas eve, so this is me and my host sister (the brazilian godess) having a quick foto shoot before the christmas dinner at my relatives house. The night was a such a success, i ended up getting a nice little foot scrubber from secret santa, (yeah no one knows what to get the american girl for christmas) and i must say that scrubber gets the job done! And to top everything off, i got to meet my moms crazy sister who like to wear feathers on her head and eat fruit cake, she was great, we ended up being bff´s by the end of the night.
those are my two host bros sitting and listening to ray charles and reggae, yep greatest christmas combo ever.
new years! ok so this new years was a complete dream, first off its brazilian culture for everyone to either wear white or a light color, and each color means a different thing, but the main message is white which means peace. So to kick the night off my decided to have a huge party infront of my beach house in piranji, with all her doctor friends, and let me just say there really aint no party like a doctor party. it was nutts. At 12 01 we all headed to the beach to jump the seven waves which is seven wishes that you have to make, and yes it is extremely difficult to come up with 7 wishes in 7 seconds. Then the fireworks started, and i impressed everyone with the size of my mouth, by putting 12 giant grapes in my mouth at once (spanish tradition). Then after having a quick photoshoot on the beach, we headed back to the house where everyone started getting sauced. But of course with champain there must also be dancing so me and my host mom got down to buisness. I cant say i have ever seen so many 70 moves, but i was proud to be a witness. anyshways, after a bit of dancing i spotted igor (brazilian lover) and diogo, from affar watching me dance and dying with laughter. So when i asked if i could go hang with them my mom told me i could go, only if they danced with her. so they did. It was great. And about 30 seconds later we were off to go meet up with igor´s brother and his friend rafinha (new bff). Then we hit the beach and just did some hanging and running around time. Then at around 3 everyone started to get tired (which can not happen on new years) so we discovered a nice little energy drink place where jesus works, called MAD DOG. and after about a cup and a half of that i was ready for round 2! So we all headed to the beach again, and as the sun began to arise, we thought it only right to swim in the ocean with our clothes on, so we did, after about 20 minutes of convincing our metrosexual friend that the ocean would not destroy his new pants. AHhh it was such a dream, when we came back from the nice dip, igor decided to dig a giant hole while i decided to build chichen itza. And to top the night/day we watched the sun come up and just simmered in the adventure. oh and as we were coming home i spotted a wallet on the beach with like 300 bucks inside, which led to an investigation, on trying to find the owner, when we finally found him, he was still a bit woozy so he offered to buy us breakfast, which ended up being 7 beers at 7 in the morning, yeah I THINK NOT! so we fleed the scence and just went home to snooze. so there you have it, one slammin new years in brazil!

me and my cuz luiza keepin it real
living long and prosper of course
my other cousin raul and i just being hardcoreigor in the white and diogo in the plaid making their debue at the party, and yes that is my little hand creepin on igors side
