Family

Ze's cousins were all so much fun. We all had somuch fun together. Guga, the one in the picutre with Ze and I was like a long lost friend. Her and I got along so well and she made the trip even that much more fun. Ze especially had a good time hanging out with all of his cousins some he hadn't seen in over ten years,and it was good for him to make new memories, and not think of them as still little kids when they all used to fight. Jose, Joao, and Joao Paulo, really had a good time together. THey were always up to something and it usually involoved food, but can you blame them , the food down there is SOOOO GOOOD

Here you see the boys dancing with there little cousin Rafael, while Mamim, plays the guitar for them. Those three had so much fun together, we introduced Rafa to some things I am not sure his mom liked, but boys will be boys.

We went to the shopping a lot (shopping meaning mall) because it was air conditioned so we found an excuse at least once a day. Now this guy on the computer is Ze's cousin Duda, I had to put it in because that is what he was always doing, and now i see why Ze and him were so close growin up. The other tree characters are Joao, Ze's sister Mariana is the blonde, and Mamim, is his youngest cousin. I don't think I stopped laughing for a whole month with as much fun as they are.

Ze's Aunt's Rose, and Eloiza, which everyone calls Elo (eh-low) are such great people. Elo was kind enough to let us stay with her while we were there and even gave up her room and bathroom for us. I loved talking to Rose, she is so down to earth and to the point. I miss them a lot and wish we could all live closer. Ze's cousins were all a blast! We all had so much fun together. There are so many more picutres I could put, of things that happened, but I need to move on or I will never catch up with our lives. We were homesick for home, while we were there, and now that we are here we are homesick for there. Hopefully we will be going back often. We loved every minute of our time there and miss everyone terribly. It was a great month!
