Last of Brazil 2011

Hi everyone!
I hope you're not too frustrated with my poor blogging skills. 
I am beyond swamped. 
Like, I hardly remember the last time I had this much stuff to get done, and I'm not entirely sure I'll make it through this term. 
{{But really, I'll probably make it through the term, I just wont talk to half of you until after Brazil 2012}}

However, in an effort to finally not have finishing this post series hanging over my head, I'm going to throw together one last post {which is likely to consist of mostly just photos}. If any of you want to know more, then let's chat during the break and I can tell you lots about Brazil last year AND 2012 :]
{{Because for those of you who don't know - hubby and I are LEADING this year's Brazil trip! Yikes! [hence why I'm super-duper swamped]}}

Okay, here we go:

More pictures in the favelas.




Having some fun hanging out in the day center. 
{One of our team members brought pixi-stix, which they don't have in Brazil}




Spending time with some of the kids before a Christmas Party.








One of the Christmas Parties.








Really wish we could have fit everyone in the favela!





Capoeira {Google/Youtube it if you're curious! Brazilian "fight-dancing"}



A picture of the worst {i.e. most dangerous and run-down} favela we visited. We were advised not to take pictures for safety reasons, so I snagged this one from the bus.


Last church service and saying some good-byes.













A free day in downtown São Paulo. 
We went up to the top of the 2nd highest building in the city!










Phew! And that's about all I have for you!
I hope you enjoyed it!

I will do my best to be better {and much more punctual!} about posting for Brazil 2012! 
Thanks for reading!!
