Just the beginning...

It´s 2am, and I just got home from 4 straight days of beach-going and Carnaval festivities. So yeah-I´m uber tired, but I still wanted to start posting my pictures for you guys (I have a lot!). The commentary will come soon!

1) Jennifer (host sister), me, and Aubrey on the Coqueira beach
2) Me, Aline, Jennifer, and Aubrey on our way there in the coolest little beach car--didn´t get a photo of the whole thing though. You´d be amazed at how many people squeeze into cars though. The other night we had 17 in a pickup-7 in the front and 10 in the back!
3) Me and Aubrey giving eachother Uncle Auvoro´s handshake after surviving his dune-driving adventure---driving down huge 85 degree angled dunes in a pickup!
4) One of the beachside restaurants we hung out at
