Hey guys.
Not much time to write today (what else is new?) but I thought I'd talk a little about Rio de Janeiro. It's basically the prettiest place I've ever been to.
The highlight of the trip was probably Pão de Açucar, a big hill that overlooks the whole city, the beach, etc. We took a tram up at night and could see everything. It was pretty amazing. I'd post some pictures but I forgot the USB cable for my camera and the lanhouse here doesn't have a card reader. Once I get home I'll get things up to date. Anyways, apart from the regular sightseeing our hotel was right by the beach so we got to go swimming in perfect water at Copacabana. That was another highlight.
We spent three days in Rio then another three in Minas Gerais visiting historic gold mining cities. We got to go into a gold mine and a huge natural cavern. I even got to ride in an old school mine car. When I get more time I'll tell you about our awesome hotel in Belo Horizonte.
Anyways, gotta go now but I'll try to get a new post up soon.

I'll bet it is fun to be able to swim while you are there. Do you ever feel guilty like you are still a missionary?

I thought Eagle Mountain was the prettiest place you'd ever been. Hmmm...I'm trying to think of reasons why I should not be jealous right now. But I am glad you are having fun, and will try to live vicariously through you. Put on pictures please.
