We had such a great time on the beach, and SO many pictures, so I tried to choose only a few! Sorry to bombard you all with pictures, but I hope that you enjoy them! Once again, the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this place! Lucas and I standing in front of the apartment... ready to go to the beach! Woohoo! Path from our apartment to the beach. So CLOSE!

Biking on the path Praia Riviera! Love it! Luiza getting a tan! She is so beautiful! I can't believe that she is in college now!

Mom and Dad relaxing on the beach!

Windy day! Luiza and Marcos were trying to fly!

And again! So funny!

And the long anticipated picture!!!! Cheese on the beach!

The guy selling cheese was very nice and did not look at us like we were crazy when we asked him if we could have a picture of him making our cheese for all of our friends back in the USA who couldn't understand what we meant when we said that we had cheese on the beach!

So good... I wish I could go back right now just to eat this!

We rented 3 bikes for the whole time that we were there. We had a great time riding on the beach or riding to get bread at the store. They definitely got their use while we were there!Luiza and I riding - We were TIRED! Lucas and Luiza Lucas, Dad and Luiza riding down the beach... in the rain...

Marcos and I decided to bike to the end of the beach which we though was about 4 kilometers each way, but later discovered was about 10 km each way - Let me just say that biking on the beach is not an easy task, especially when the bikes only have 1 gear! haha!

Back - Wow... we were dirty!

Lucas and Caio Birds More Birds!

Beautiful Beach Sunset Dad, Lucas and I up on the balcony Me, Lucas, Mom and Dad - We decided to go out on the beach on night - It was raining and oh so cold, but we still had a great time!

On the last day that we were there - The only day that was really sunny - We rented a jet ski for 30 minutes and had a blast! It is definitely different than riding on a lake. I rode with Dad and Luiza rode with Lucas. I am glad to say that I have experienced jet skiing in the ocean now! So fun! Time to jet ski!

I think Luiza was scared out of her mind, but she had a great time anyways!

Dad and I after our turn!
