Friday, March 24, was our last full day in Brazil. First thing in the morning we took the bus up to a little feira (farmer’s market).
Daddy bought us some sugar cane juice. They just feed the sugar cane through that grinder a couple times and strain the juice that comes out before handing it to you to drink. It’s pretty good.
Raine and Carter played at the park in the courtyard of Grandma and Grandpa’s apartment complex for a little while before lunch.
That afternoon we took Uber downtown to Parque Ibirapuera (which is similar to Central Park).
We rented bikes and rode around the park.
There were more playgrounds than you could count in that park.
After dinner, we walked to a shopping mall to buy Carter a Futebol jersey. On the way back, we stopped by the temple grounds. The security guard let us in because Grandma and Grandpa were missionaries so we were able to see it up close.
The next morning we packed our bags and Grandma and Grandpa drove us to the airport for our long flight home. After a layover in Madrid, Spain…
…we finally made our way home and found the key that our cleaners graciously hid for us after we realized that we lost the one and only house key that we took to Brazil!
It was an AWESOME vacation! (But don’t try to get Carter on a plane anytime soon, he’s reached his travel limit!)
