Hola from Curitiba!

Hello everyone!
Well I finally got some pics on here. Sorry but some of them are sideways. Can't be bothered to fix it. Hope you enjoy. Right now we are in Curitiba, and tomorrow we head to Foz de Iguaca falls. Should be great. After that we are going to head south into Argentina. Need to hit the cheap countries! Once we got to Curitiba from Ilha Grande, after a very looooong bus ride, we got off the bus at 6am and it was FREEZING here!! I'm talkin like 8 degress in the morning! We were not prepared for that! So we are heading inland and hopefully will find some sunshine somewhere! All is well. Take care all!
Salute!

Our first time at Copacobana, in Rio, nasty day, but the beach is still wicked!

Copacobana, not a nice day, so deserted.
