Brazil Day Two: Beach Bums

          Since the gorgeous beaches are only going to be around for too few days of our lives, we decided to take advantage of them.  We dedicated, today, our second day, to the beaches.  Hello sunshine and 75 degree weather! Yes, I am going to get a tan in November! Wohoo! The strip of beaches here is absolutely stunning.  It begins with mountains, then the line of skyscrapers follows the beach and it ends with a mountain again.  How feautiful is this earth that the Lord has created?!
          Laying on the beach for hours just tanning and reading relaxed my whole body.  Running barefoot along the water front in the sand set my spirit free.  Going into water and being swallowed by a vortex of water rushed my adrenalin.  Drinking the milk out of a coconut choped open right before my eyes and eating a fresh mango by carving into it with a spoon gave life to my sense of adventure and exotic excitement.  Walking along the board walk in our newly purchased skirt wraps welcomed us into the culture.  Finally, eating a classy dinner outside with an ocean view concluded a wonderfully blessed beach bum sort of day.
