Hello Rio!

We are taking a vacation in Rio De Janeiro this week instead of flying back to Chicago-land. We got a great view of the city when we flew in...

And it was London's first time at the Beach. To say he LOVED the sand would STILL be an understatement...

First birthday gift

One of the guys (and his girlfriend) that troy has been working with for the last couple weeks got London a Birthday gift! First Let me say how refreshing it was to see the standard bag at the store was a picture of a baby breastfeeding!!! SUCH a nice change from the USA to see BFing being promoted instead of formula feeding <3
Anyway his gift was a Brazilian CD of Lullabies!

My sunsets (for mary)

Well its not a beach view sunset but I think its pretty cool anyway. Here is the sunset from our hotel-

opps forgot some Sat stuff!

Our Hard Rock Cafe stop!-

and the location for the 2014 World cup is here! -

Last of the sat photos!

We also went to the zoo here. For $2 it was about what you expected. London LOVES the birds! 

Yep this turtle WAS the highlight at the aquarium (which was in the zoo)-

Some more sat activites-

Besides the church we also went to a fair and the zoo (pics tomorrow of zoo)! London got his first carousel ride!

May not look like much but those were the BEST noodle dish I have ever had-$2!

 

Troy and his coke photo with is $1 meat stick

 

Hippie Fair

Every Sunday from 8-2pm is the local Hippie Fair right next to the Municiple Park. They estimate about 80,000 people are there during the open hours. Its just tons of different little shop vendors selling their stuff. Nothing to exciting but a nice way to waste a few dollars...

And since we were next to the park we HAD to go!

Did you catch the kid climbing on the top!
And lastly a new way to use a basketball court- For Futball ofcourse!
