A Bookstore

Nestled on the hilltop neighborhood

of Santa Teresa,

surrounded by ominous dark trees,

we stepped into the warmth

of this inviting bookstore

for a spot of cafezeinho

at dusk.

Brazil

Traveling once again!

It has been so busy this past month that I haven't even gotten a chance to enjoy the pre-departure adrenaline.

But here it is! It has been a dream for oh, I don't know how long, but I am finally going to Rio, and I've been listening to bossa nova non-stop for the past few days. I'm probably longing for the Rio days of old--or perhaps even a Rio that never existed, but that's the soundtrack I want when I'm sitting on Ipanema.

Mannnny pictures and words to come.
