We were able to get some r and r in Brazil. We went to the various malls, beaches, and restaurants. Some of the places we are weren't all that good, but we loved Pizza Hut every time we went there. This highlight of our trip must have been going on the dune buggy ride on Christmas day. It started out bad when we got a flat tire, but in the end it was a lot of fun. During the ride we even had to float across a rived on a raft. In all Brazil was very worth it and Shell can't wait to go back.

Lately it has just been life as normal. We haven't done anything too extraordinary since we went to "Brasil" in December. I was a great escape from all the snow that we had this year. Jason had a great time visiting with members that he hasn't seen for a while. Now that we have been back for a while it seems like time to plan our next big trip.
