Here goes my last blog! We are waiting for our first flight of 4 to take us back to Saskatchewan and I have 24 hours of waiting to do until I'm home so I thought I better write up a blog. So we had our beach day at Ipanema. We walked from our hostel in Copacabana which took about an hour. We laid out for a few hours and I tried to tan my white cheeks in my Brazilian bikini but it didn't work. Too white I guess. There are tons of pedlars on the beach trying to se...

Ok hello again! Sorry my blogs are so infrequent lately. I'm getting a little sick of blogging to be honest, but I still feel I need to finish it up! I'm almost done my trip after all! Since I last blogged, if I remember correctly, I have been to Paraty, Ilha Grande, and now I am in Rio. I met my friend Jasmine on the bus to Paraty, she ended up sitting beside me on the bus and was staying at my same hostel in Paraty. I met Jasmine in Florianopolis. We met two ...

I think I last left off after Buenos Aires. I took the ferry/bus to Montevideo, Uruguay and spent two nights there. My hostel was super cute, I loved it! It was much smaller than usual which I liked. It was in an old house and there were only 9 bunk beds all together, in three separate rooms. My favourite part was the living room with a wood burning fireplace they kept going all the time!
