The Adventures of SpeedRacer, Senorita & Speedster: September 2009

I wish I could write a great story about our holidays but no time!!! It's been too long that I haven't updtades this blog so I decided just to put the photos and you can imagine what the story was. =)

After 5 years, the 4 of us got to be together again. That's quite a memorable moment.

FLORIANOPOLIS - SC

Isn't my baby sister a cutie!! We were all there for her 2nd birthday!

That's the bunch in Florianopolis - Mirante and Praia da Joaquina

What a lovely couple!!

Where is Rebeca? Crying at home cause her boyfriend didn't come on this trip as he was somewehre else in a competition. She missed out a great afternoon.

GRAMADO - RS

The other highlight of the trip was seeing my grandma. We hadn't seen each other in 7 years.
Yes, we do have winter in Brazil. We drove 550Km south of Florianopolis to go to Gramado and enjoy their special hot chocolate and great foundue!

Mind you, this was a 2 day trip and the 550Km back turn to be 9h drive because of the horrible weather, torrential rain and horrific truck drivers on BR101. I don't know how we managed to get home alive.

We quickly stopped in Canela on our way home. The rain gave us just a tiny break.

Beautiful waterfall in the background.

SAO PAULO - SP

My dearest friend Grazi hosted a delicious barbecue lunch for us.

We decided to walk up to the highest point of Sao Paulo (Pico do Jaragua) 4.5Km. I almost died!

Almost there!

We made it!! But of course I couldn't walk all the way down, so I asked for some Korean girls a ride. Luckily they lived close to my mum's place and we got a ride home.
