And since pictures speak louder than words, here are a bunch of pics from the last leg of my trip:
Playing football in Ipanema

Me, at the beach

Farmers Market

Samba on the train

On top of Rio De Janeiro

Meat on a stick, the Brazilian way

Warriors in Ilha Grande

I am sad that my trip is over, but I'm also happy that I'm back in SF. It almost seems as though I never left, and that frightens me at times, but I know that I have grown in many ways, and will continue to do so in different forms and environments. I'll be updating my blog about various events. It'll be a creative outlet for me. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and that you will come back and visit me!
