Brazilian vacation (Dec '11 - Jan '12)

Yes! Four weeks of vacation in Brazil! We left Sweden on December 12, flew via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines (cheap and very good, however long trip) and landed in Guarulhos Int´l Airport at night, took a cab to the inlaws and slept for 12 hours straight. We stayed a couple of days with them, then rented a car and drove NW to my wife´s cousin´s farm in Guarantá with +2500 beef cows! We had a great week there with barbeques and pool parties. After that we needed some relaxation (eh?) and went to stay in a friend's beach house in Juquehy, close to Guarujá on the coast. On the 23rd we went back to São Paulo to celebrate Christmas and then continued to Rio de Janeiro to meet friends and celebrate New Year's Eve. Rio was nice. Nice and rainy. After a couple of days in SP we went back to Sweden on Jan 7.

Thank you, Brazil. See you soon!

My son got a dinosaur kit from his godfather, very cool thing to play with as you have to excavate for the bones and then build the model!
