Things Brett left out...

Our mothers will be happy to know that we are being good about using sunscreen. In fact, we have nearly run out of it. But don't worry, they sell sunscreen in Brazil.

Also, we made a wonderful Shabbat dinner at the hostel. We had a salmon fillet with mango lime salsa, potatoes, and green beans. Although prices in Brazil are not cheap compared to the rest of South America, groceries are not bad and this meal only cost approx 6-7 dollars.
