365 Day Project - Week 51-52 The Final Post

Well, this post is drastically overdue, but I have come to the end of my project.  I wanted to wait until after Carnival to end on a very Brazilian note.  I have really enjoyed sharing my first full year in Brazil with all of you.  We had a lot of good times and a few disappointments, but we are settled now in Belo Horizonte and really enjoying our time here.  I am still anxious to have our Canadian wedding at some point, so keep your fingers crossed for us!  I hope you have found my project interesting and I will continue to post photos on Facebook when I can.  Here is my last collection of photos in true Carnival style...enjoy!
