Our Beach Posts

How could I post all these pictures of Brazil and not post anything about the beaches. That is all we did every morning, walk down from our apartment and out to the beach for a couple of hours. By 1pm all the people from Rio were coming by the bus loads and we were heading back for naps. It was the perfect set-up! Bikinis, thongs, boardshorts and speedos were the item of choice for the Brazilians. The only time I felt like a tourist was when I was on the beach, in my one-piece bathing suit! All the women small, big, young or old wear bikinis. Now why is it that the "Land of the Free" is so judgmental on the ideal body? All American women need a trip to Brazil to gain some body confidence because the Brazilian women sure do have it!!!....next time baby!
