Day 1 and 2 of Brazil Trip! (Dec. 17 & 18)

I took a ton of pictures, so decided to post them in increments. We had an absolutely wonderful time in Brazil with Debora, Josh and Thomas and all the rest of the gang! We stayed at Neusa and Nicola's apartment in São Paulo for the first couple of days, and then went out to Guarajá for the remainder of our visit. Wonderful, beautiful, marvelous.....you get the idea!
Our flight out (compliments of Josh and Debora - a thousand thank yous!) had us leaving from Appleton, then to Chicago, then Toronto (got another stamp in our passports!) and then on to São Paulo! We met some friendly and interesting people along the way, and were met at GRU by Josh and Debora. Our only 'oh no' moment came when the woman at the counter in Appleton tried telling us we needed a visa to go through Canada. Fortunately, that turned out to be false. Phew!
