Photos from the Brazilian coast and Rio

Paraty and Ilha Grande



















The streets of Paraty are often flooded during high tide



















Popular soda in Brazil (also a good vodka complement!)
















Rio de Janeiro

Jenny's new Brazilian boyfriend
















Ipanema beach














Views of a favela with Sugarloaf mountain in the background

















The SelarĂ³n steps. We got to meet the artist, whose studio is right off of the steps...he's quite a character.
















Sunday afternoon street party and samba at the corner liquor store!
















About half of all cars in Brazil are fueled by ethanol (whether or not that's a good thing is a whole different and highly debatable matter!)














Rio at night
Samba at Rio Scenarium, a Rio institution in Lapa
