Bet that water was cold!
Wow, your blog brought back some really great memories of Rio - like you say a fantastic city...we loved it and it's one of our favourite cities in the whole world! Seeing this pic of Amy in the water reminded us how cold the ocean is there - freezing is not an adequate word to describe it! We are really looking forward to the rest of your blogs, we have so any good memories of South America, we are sure you'll love the rest of your time on the continent.
