Get my hair did

Actually, I did this myself. *pat on back
After months of pondering, I figured I might as well.
I'm really excited with how it turned out.

Britsilian: Matt & Lara get married!

Matt & Lara are one of my favorite couples in this world. Two people cannot be more perfect for each other. I'm so happy and honored that I could be there to witness their entry into the world of legal couple-age. And what better place to declare your love than Rio!

THE HAPPY COUPLE!

Everyone danced til the very end and when the reception was over, festivities continued in Leblon.

Spring

You wouldn't know by the NYC weather that it's Spring, but the daffodils say otherwise.

Wish you were here

Bom dia from Foz do Iguacu. I am one of two people staying in the hostel this evening (very eerie), so I figured I'd use this opportunity to give a quick update on my travels.

I left Rio this afternoon with a heavy heart. This was my second visit to Rio, and it was just as amazing as the first. Luckily I got all the tourist sites out of the way last time, so this trip was spent lounging on Ipanema, soaking in the (strong) rays with the beautiful people of Rio, dancing & eating with friends and Lara's gorgeous Brazilian family and watching 127 Hours with my hostel mates who all inspire me to take months off to see the world.

I didn't bring a SD-USB card reader with me, so here are some pictures from my phone.



Ipanema beach.


The graffiti murals in Rio are awesome.


Staying hydrated.

Tomorrow I visit the Argentina side of the Iguazu falls, and based on the view from the flight, it's going to be stunning.

My soul searching trip as a moleskin-toting, single female traveler begins manana.

Vacay

In five days I will be on Ipanema beach, soaking in the rays of Rio.

Brunch at Diner.

I couldn't figure out how to hide posts before a certain date, so this breaker will have to do.
