You always know that Christmas is near in Rio when the Christmas Tree goes up in the Lagoa. The city assembles this enormous metal tree full of lights and holds an official tree lighting the first of December every year complete with fireworks. We can see the tree from our verandah for most of the holiday season.
You also know that Christmas is near in Rio when you hear Christmas carols blaring from the street. As soon as you peer out to find where it's coming from, you see the caravan of semi's lit with Christmas lights and advertising the holiday coke can.
For me, I always know that Christmas is near when an annual "Girl's Weekend in Buzios" is planned. This weekend was the third I have been on since moving to Rio. I guess that's more of a bi-annual thing then, huh?
Mara, Tati, and Suzanne posed for a nice shot at our favorite crepe restaurant, Chez Michou. (Suzanne's eyes are ALWAYS closed in pictures.)
Tati taught us the proper way to drink a caipirinha. Plenty of water while drinking keeps the headaches away.
And, we had a wonderful room with a fabulous veranda for our comfortable weekend of relaxation. Today was back to work, a nice tan, plenty of rest and ready to face the week.
