It's been one week since we got home from Brasil and we miss it! It's been wonderful being back home to our normal daily lives (we do have a good life, even at home! It's like a vacation every day with Sarah ;-D).
Before we left to Rio, we bought a Lensbaby to take some photos over our vacation and for me to have for work as well. It was so much fun, and just a tad bit too addictive! We kept shooting with it the entire way to Rio, AND our entire afternoon that Saturday. It's a wonderful toy to play with but we knew we shouldn't leave it on for the whole week or every damn shot we took would be all crazy and make you guys vomit after just a few!
We were way to trustworthy immediately taking so many photos - but we could feel tons of the locals really "watching" us - I figured it was because we were white, American, and all happy touristy..... and then a few people told us we should be careful with the camera which I figured was normal. Later that evening, I brought it to take photos of a street carnival that we attended and you could feel eyes burning into us! We then realized we couldn't have my fancy camera just hanging around and snapping away - so for the remainder of the week, we left it in our "bag" and used the tiny camera for most of the week! :-( We did take some snapshots, but not as much as we did with our smaller camera so this blog is the big "show" where we took alot with the fancy camera, and the lensbaby lens.
These are from the airports to the first day being in Rio in the early evening. We have tons more of photos to show but that will come soon!
Enjoy :-) Thank you again to everyone who voted for me and made this wonderful trip possible! It was a nice vacation away from work (the last one I took was years ago if you say "no work, no emails, no nothing" to me). Purple, Thank you for covering this trip - it was wonderful!!!
It was so ironic because this restaurant's name was La Maison (it's right outside the hotel we stayed at, and we frequently ate there) and our home's name is Maison Looziana! Fate!
More to come! :-)
