Switching jobs gives me the opportunity to take a week trip to Brazil. After getting a $130 visa to enter Brazil and Malaria Pills, sunblock, insect repellant, and bug bite medicine I was ready for my 11 hour trip. Catching some sun on the beaches and getting lost in the Amazon rainforest made for a great week away from New York.

My Highlights:

Rio de Janeiro - Visit Sugar Loaf, two mountains that you take a ride to the top. Christ, Corvovado the statue that overlooks the city, Copacabana beach, and a Soccer Semi Final Game.

Manaus - Sightseeing, Jungle tour, Fishing for piranhas, Swimming with pink Dolphins, Crock spotting, seeing the joining of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes

San Paulo - Local Mall and watch a movie (2012) in which you see Christ, Covovado get destroyed.
