The Land of Waterfalls! Brazil: Foz do Iquaçu.

As we neared the Foz do Iguaçu Airport, we flew over miles and miles of trees. I thought that we would be staying in the jungle as I tried to do as little research as possible, so that I could be surprised.

Then, a river came into sight with what seemed like a large hole in the Earth. It was the waterfalls. From above, I had no idea how we were going to get there, not knowing all the roads were hidden by the tall trees.






Walking out the doors of the airport, I could feel the thick cloud of mist as I inhaled the fresh rainforest's air. We took a highway surrounded by miles of trees until we reached a small town. It was quaint and pleasant with many shops and restaurants.

Brazil, Rio de Julia

Last December (2013), my family and I decided to experience the country of soccer, Brazil. It was a good thing we went before the chaos of FIFA World Cup.

Our first stop was "Rio de Janeiro"! In English it means, "River of January".

We stayed at the Sofitel Hotel Copacabana. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with professional service, and was brought champagne and macaroons. After the incredibly long journey from the Philippines to Brazil, a glass of champagne was much needed. The Hotel had a spectacular view from the rooftop bar overlooking the sea. I enjoyed sitting there during mornings, and late afternoons to watch the sunset.
