Too many "1st's" in 3 days

Our 1st and last time staying in a Hostel.

This was the room we all slept in. I don't know if it was the moldy walls or the moldy dishes that creeped me out more. Or maybe it was the fact that we had to use the bathroom shower water to wash the dishes because there was no hot water plumbed to the kitchen sink. Maybe it was the crack under the door and in the windows or the oh so funky smell.

I have to say R warned me. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. I do have to say we will remember this place for a really long time.

1st time we slept in a place I wish I brought some sort of weapon, Just in Case! Although R tried to reassure me we were actually safe. He then tells me he has stayed in places like this before. NOT HELPFUL! He won't be traveling for work any more if I have anything to do with it.

A little mold problem won't kill you...or will it.

1st time ever showering in a doorless shower. The bathroom had a door. Let's just say you could shower and go potty at the same time. There were also some pretty cool bugs on the wall I have never seen before. Now I know what my brother was talking about when he said he would always shower with his flip flops on while living here in Brazil. If that doesn't give you the heebee geebees I don't know what does.

The drive up the coast was so pretty.

There was beach after beach. We stopped at a few on the way home and had a great time.

Anything to keep us out of the hostel.....

J looking as beautiful as ever.

1st time taking our car across the ocean on a fairy boat.

We went to the Island of Ilhabela.

1st time I was actually not very impressed by waterfalls,. The hike was not very long but the mud just wasn't doing it for me. Not to mention we all had our Havainana's on aka thongs......flips flops that is.

Cool pictures we took on our way to the not so cool waterfalls.

We call this "BIG WAVE BEACH" I could have stayed all day watching

the waves come in.

1st time mom actually ruined the family photo.

Look at the curl on that.

My little flamingo

1st time R babe actually ran toward the water instead of away from the water.

I love all his footprints in the sand.

A little love from the biggest brother.

Munching on some fresh salted and buttered corn.

Love the beach food!

Small Medium Large.

Pretty in Pink.

1st time R babe has worn pink.

It was getting cold and windy. His clothes were wet from playing in the ocean and J was kind enough to share her shirt

1st time passing over a bridge that looks unfinished but actually is finished .

The car in front made it safely. Cross your fingers kids and say a little prayer.
I am sure we will be fine..... while chewing on my fingernails.
