iguacu falls

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The shear power of the water falls is amazing. It sits on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. We experienced the falls from the Brazil side. We stayed at one of the last resorts before the start of the National Park. It was pretty cold, and we enjoyed coming back to our room that we had cranked up to 30 degrees Celsius. (86 F). It was about 9-13 celsius outside on this trip. Here are some pictures from the falls and the awesome bird park right next to our hotel.

Ronaldo! Ronaldo!

Daniel got to fulfill one of his life long dreams a couple of weeks ago. He lives for soccer, and especially Brazil Soccer. I have been thru two world cups and I just know to expect 3hrs of soccer a day for a month every four years. Not that bad I guess... I do like the game except for tie games at 0-0. I am just so bored when no one scores. Daniel says I just don't get it. Well we couldn't leave Brazil without attending a few games, but getting to go to a national Brazil game was a treat. Brazilians are passionate about their Futbol!! We not only got to go to a game, Brazil vs. Romania, but we got to see a legend retire! Disclaimer: I did not really know who Ronaldo was before I married this guy!

I have decided to rejoin the blogging world after a two year absence. It has been a crazy and great couple of years and I have a lot to catch up on. However instead I think I am just going to start where I am at!

We having been living in Brazil for the past couple of months and having a great time.

Daniel was here for two months without me, and then I joined him at the end of April. That was a happy weekend! This last weekend we celebrated my birthday in a little swiss mountain town a few hours north from Sao Paulo:

Then we went to a nice dinner of amazing fondue! The restaurant was an adorable log cottage with fireplaces and a plaid wall!

Then we stayed in the cute hotel right above town.

The next day we decided to be daring and try a ropes course with zip lines. No safety lesson here folks just vamos! Check out the sweet helmets!

Then we finished our day with some pastels and chocolate covered strawberries on a stick!

It was an awesome Birthday weekend in a woman's dream town of leather and chocolate. So grateful for a fabulous husband who spoils me.
