A couple weeks ago, I didn't have school for a week. Brazil is really big on Carnival, so we have the whole week off of school. I decided that I was going to go explore the Amazon. I spent most of the time in the city with another teacher, Bethany. We also ventured out into the jungle for a night to stay at a lodge and see some of the jungle a little more off the beaten path.
I love getting to explore and see new parts of God's amazing creation. I also read a ton, which was good for my soul. Back to the grind for a while. It was good to get back to my kids. They're pretty great.

Love to see the Amazon through your eyes. :)
