In Love with Brazil

Our first stop on the ship is Brazil, and the country was absolutely amazing! I fell in love with Bahia, the area was rich with culture and the people were so beautiful. I am really into salsa dancing and samba music is very similar, so I spent the first day just partying in the streets with the people celebrating their independence day, and it was a lot of fun. I left for Rio de Janeiro the next day, and fell in love with Brazil all over again! Rio is hands down, the most beautiful city I’ve ever visited. The mountains running against the gorgeous beaches, and all the historic architecture throughout the city was remarkable. We went to go visit a school in the favelas, where the kids were really cool. They were so happy to see us and we took a lot of pictures. One of my favorite parts of the trip was going to see Christ the Redeemer, an incredible statute that hovered over the entire city. The views of Rio from the statue were absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it! Overall I loved Brazil, and all that the country had to offer.
