Rio!

Our last ACA trip has come and gone :( Time has truly flown by.
The trip was amazing, one of the best. We spent a little less than a week enjoying the beaches, food, and sights of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and picked up a little Portuguese while we were at it **side note, Spanish is sooo much better than Portuguese**.
We took a city tour one day and saw where Carnival is held, the world largest sports stadium, a modern Catholic church, and a beautiful botanical garden. We also saw Cristo Redentor, and went up Pao de Azucar where we had panoramic views of the beaches and ocean...beautiful.
When we weren't touring we spent time tanning on the beach, drinking smoothies, and walking around the beach front and outdoor market.
We took hundreds of pictures, bronzed our skin, watched a scary movie and laughed more than should be legal. I am going to miss our ACA group so much, we all have so much fun together and get along really well. The trip was a great ending to an awesome year :) Only 6 more weeks of school left!

P.S. My lovely friend Trisha wrote a blog about our trip that is much more detailed and colorful. If you want to take a peek, here's the link...
