Sorry for the month long hiatus!!

...and we still haven't resized all the pics from Brasil--so just sit tight. Our neighbors and their free internet have moved away, so access is a bit spotty right now. Here's a quick meme that I did to speed up the afternoon :)

We should get pics up by the end of the week. Oh, and we're running the Peachtree Road Race (biggest 10K in the US) on the 4th--wish us luck!

here´s where we eat breakfast...

we weren´t lying--here´s Snoop and Pharrell at the Maze (see when the kid runs down the alley) which was filmed at our hostel. All the favela scenes are where we are staying--check the view. (not the palace thing, the place with the crazy broken tile floor at the beginning..)

Rio--even the poor have a good view

Wow--its not any surprise that we love Brasil. The amazing thing is that our hostel, in a favela (shanty town) no less, was written about in Newsweek International this week. Congrats to Bob and his family for running a fantastic hotel!!!
