Weekend trip to Pirenópolis






We took weekend trip to Pirenópolis. We had a great time! The weather was overcast so there weren't many people at the waterfall. We hiked and swam in 2 beautiful clear natural pools that were flowing into a waterfall. One of the pools was about 4 meters deep. At the bottom of the waterfall there was a trail that lead behind the waterfall. It was like a cave! So cool! We also walked along a small canyon and saw some strange looking plants and vines. It felt like we were walking through an Indiana Jones scene minus the high intensity.
That evening we ate dinner while an excellent guitarist serenaded the restaurant with Brazilian music.

Namibia's Independence Day

We were invited to join the Namibian embassy in celebrating their independence day. We were able to meet and talk with some wonderful people from Namibia and South Africa. The food was very good.
