365 Day Project - Week 8

Good evening everyone!  This is my last day of holiday before I go back to work, but....it's only only one week until we drive back to Belo Horizonte for a very special wedding!  I'm glad everyone enjoyed my Carnaval pictures...I've included a few more this week as well as some other pictures from this week.  Enjoy!

Carnaval!

365 Day Project - Week 7

Carnaval!  It has been a crazy Carnaval weekend here at Casa Silva.  I waited to publish this post so I could include lots of extra photos from the festivities.  We had 11 house guests come to stay this weekend and share in my first Carnaval experience.  We spent a lot of time at the beach, dancing, drinking and eating delicious food.  I hope you enjoy the photos because now I am in need of a rest :)

Dancing in the street!

365 Day Project - Week 6

Boa tarde everyone!  I am sorry for the late post but I was waiting to get a good shot of the Carnaval party that was happening on our street today.  The Carnaval in Vitória is the week before the rest of the Brazil, which means more parties for us!  Today's party was a block party right in front of our house with a big truck that had a band playing on it.  Once the band got started it circled the block and everyone followed and danced and had a great time.  W. thoroughly enjoyed his first Carnaval in 2 years and I loved my first experience.  I've posted a shot from Carnaval today and some others from the week.  More Carnaval photos to come in the next few weeks.  Enjoy!

365 Day Project - Week 5

This week was back to school!  It seems a little bizarre since it is February and it's so hot out.    Here are a few photos from this week.

Not too bad for January 31st :)

365 Day Project - Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of my photo project :)  Things are much calmer around here these days and it has been nice to settle into our new apartment and take some time to relax.  We have been spending a lot of time at the beach this week since the average temperature have been about 30 degrees C (I apologize to those up north!).  These are a few photos from the beach, things we've been eating; and even though it was not this week, I have included some more wedding pictures as promised!

365 Day Project - Week 3

Well what a crazy week this was!  With all the wedding festivities finished, Mom, Dad, W and I made the long drive from Belo Horizonte back to Vitoria.  Mom and Dad stayed and visited in Vitoria until Tuesday before they flew back to Canada.  It was so wonderful to see them and it was very hard to see them go.  These are a few photos from their trip and also one wedding photo to tease you.  W. is in the process of editing the rest and I promise I will post more next week.

We had so much luggage Mom and I were literally separated by a wall.

365 Day Project - Week 2

This week was Wedding Week!  W. and I had the first part of our two part wedding on January 12th in W's home town of Sabarà.  It was an amazing day that we were able to celebrate with our families from Canada and Brazil.  Since the ceremony was on a Thursday, we decided to wait and have a party today so everyone could really enjoy themselves.  Here are a few snapshots of this week with more to follow from the wedding.
