Southern Brazil

With the World Cup approaching, the already intense Brazilian nationalism was at full speed. Everything green and yellow was on available!

We spent a week on two nice southern islands. One around Florianopolis and the other south of Rio. The beaches were near deserted and very clean. We ate local fishes after hiking to remote beaches to read and relax. Nice.

We ended our South American tour in Rio. Very vibrant city. We enjoyed a Sunday afternoon with the locals on Ipanema. Anna particularly enjoyed the six pack bearing men in boy-shorts, the latest bathing suit style. Scott also did not mind the few "dental floss" bathers who were out.
