- Ashley inviting our entire family to someones house for dinner after church, she has great manners.
- My mom locking herself in the bathroom and vowing to "never use the bathroom again."
- Lindsey squatting and clutching her stomach every 5 minutes on our walk through Petropolis.
- Bethany getting abandoned on a ferry because my mom had to get ice cream before we got on the ferry.
- Ryan asking everyone to play hearts EVERY 5 seconds we were there.
- Bethy telling (rather loudly) the lady checking our tickets as we were getting on the plane she was being rude.
- Walking into our room at the "5 star" hotel and decided to sleep in our clothes and on top of the covers. They had a different idea of luxury down there.
- Me eating a pastel covered in sand because Brittany and Ryan thought it would be funny.
- Ashley sneaking away to make out with one of the locals.
- Seeing the lady's face at the President's Club desk when my dad told her that the 7 other people that were with him were his immediate family.
-Watching Lindsey jump off the merry go round like a cat avoiding water at the park at Iguacu Falls and just about throw up.
- Ashley slicing her knee open on a waterfall.
- My mom making us react everything we did so she could get a candid picture.
-Mom rubbing sunscreen all over her face not getting any rubbed in and then asking if there was anything on her face.
-Mom getting slammed by waves and almost drowning in Rio.
- Sitting in airplane without A/C for 2 hours before taking off.
- Bethy, Brittany, and I forming team B and having the best time rooming together!
- Getting to see why my dad loved where he served his mission so much.
After dinner at the best churrascaria ever! I felt like throwing up afterwards I was so full.
In front of Iguacu Falls, not the greatest picture but its 10 yrs old and we were getting really wet.
Us in Itachia. I'm pretty sure I missed spelled that, but it was BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks for posting this, Bex! I think we need a do-over!

You forgot Poodle and Ashley getting in a fight on the beach in Morro and Poodle rubbing Ashley's face in the sand.
I miss it!

Thanx for the reminder. You forgot Mom's reaction when I told her I had written to Dora Blanski (the lady that Ashley invited us to eat with) once or twice after my mission.
Yes, I've had a love affair with Brasil ever since my mission. But sharing the experience with all of you was fantastic! And I'm even finding out some things for the first time. I missed the face-in-the-sand incident!
Maybe a week in the Hill Country, since getting eveyone to Brasil will be almost impossible now...
