The Rest of Brazil!

Our second day in Rio, I went on a walk with Katie and Neha on the beach.  We walked from Copacabana to Impanema.  Rio beaches are definitely something everyone should experience.  People are all in speedos and tiny baithing suits, they are all playing volleyball or paddle ball or soccer and they are all just having a great time.  When we got to Impanema beach, we climbed up on rocks that looked over the whole beach and just took some pictures and took it all in.  We then walked back to the hotel and it was close to 2 by then and I just laid out by the pool waiting for Tess to come back to go back to the beach but by the time she came back, it had gotten cloudy and too windy so we just hung around the pool before going in and getting ready for the night.
         We ended up meeting up with Stephanie and Amy and the SAS trip that night at some carnival thing for a saint.  It was an odd place.  It was literally just this huge fair full of shopping stands, food stands and restaurants.  I got a meat kabob. Haha.  It was so good!!  We then went to a restaurant to get dinner.  After dinner we got dropped off at Lapa and we were trying to find this bar that Jaime said to meet at.  And we found it and then we met up with these other guys (who ended up being from Pennsylvania and went to Bloomsburg) and we hung out with them and walked ALL OVER Lapa before stumbling upon a free regae concert!  How clutch!!  So we hung out at the concert and then went out.
The next day we had our flight back to Salvador.  It was raining in Rio so we didn’t do anything.  We got back to Salvador pretty late (like 7) and i wasn't feeling good and was exhausted.
Our last day in Salvador I spent shopping.  There was a huge market right near our boat in the lower city so I went there and shopped for awhile.  We also went up to the upper city for a little and walked around.  After we were doing shopping, we just decided to get some beeers and spend the whole 10 real we have left and get drunk.  We went back to the ship around 3:30ish and laid out by the pool and get a table because that night we were having a BBQ.  It ended up RAINING then and we ate inside because it started down pouring.  Like I said… now I know what Brazil has been having such bad mudslides.  I went out at 8 with Steph and Tess to watch us pull out of our LAST port.
        Honestly… where as the last 4 months gone?  It has been INSANE!!  I just don’t get how fast time went and how I have been to 8 different countries.  It’s crazy.
Well I’ll write more later.  I have to PACK!  GROSS!!!!
