Brasil Trip 2017 - Week 1 {plus a wedding!}

We spent a whole month in Brasil this year! It was a wonderful time catching up with family and friends, and of course introducing Zoe to everyone!

One month is a long time, so I've decided to do a series of 4 posts with highlights of time with friends and family, food, and scenery from each week we were there. Enjoy!

PS The photo quality will vary greatly - some are from our iPhones and others are from our Canon 650D. Also, the photos were taken by me unless stated otherwise... credit must be given where credit is due!

Stop-overs!

Somewhere between Australia and Brasil!

Our welcome from the family :)

Jet lagged, poor bubba! The first few nights we were awake for a couple hours in the middle of the night, but praise God Andre and I coped really well and were able to [patiently!] care for Zoe while she struggled with the time change

In Brasil, when you need cappuccinos, Starbucks is the place to go!

Standard lunch out - rice and beans (always!), meat and side salad

Spontaneous date night for açaí!

Playing with Tio Juninho

Breakfast, every day: coffee + bread (the chocolate was a special addition for one day only :P )

Teaching Zoe that horses are the best... she's agreeing with me so far ;) [photo by Andre]

I even played a spot of tennis! Thank goodness I'd taken a change of clothes :P

So many memories - and so many photos of those memories! It was very hard to select just a few to share! Stay tuned for week two!
