In Floripa for the weekend at some great beaches

My new house -- or at least the one that I want

Saturday night at the club

Great restaurant we found at the beach on Sunday. Each person who eats there has to write a note and paste somewhere

Best photobomb, ever! Where is Sene?

Would have bought this car, but the shipping to Rochester was a bit much!

Had a great Brazilian barbeque at Jackson's farm on Friday after work. The pork ribs were amazing!

Happy Halloween!

The CSC team was great when we had an impromptu Halloween Party on the 16th Floor of the Mercure Platz.

Scaring the front desk staff -- they were great sports

We visited some farms this morning and afternoon. These farms are part of the rural program at the Tourist Foundation. At the first farm, the best part was being handed a baby bunny to keep me company during the visit. We then went to a cool restaurant on the river. Finally, we visited a sugar cane farm and had fresh sugar cane juice.

Went to Vivo Turismo event in the morning. Here is Dan with the Flower Princesses

They had great games at the Vivo Turismo event

Our team with a mini-cow

Great view of the farm

When they hand you a baby bunny when you first enter the farm, the who visit is fabulous

We worked at the Foundation all day on Tuesday. We stayed in that evening and worked, so sorry, no pictures.

Today was a public holiday for certain businesses (including the Tourist Foundation). We worked in the morning and then did Community Service in the afternoon. We painted a school's playground and got creative with the gardening.
