hello, i just got back from brazil a couple of days ago. i spent like 10 days in florianopolis and 2 days in rio. the weather was unusually cold and so was the water. I was in 3 contests when i was down there, two WQS events and one Jr. pro. i ended up doing bad in the QS's but i got 3rd in the Jr. so that was pretty cool. being that the water was cold and there wasnt much to do i spent a lot of my time buying bikinis with my also bathingsuit obsessed friend alana. bethany alana and I just pritty much cruised all day searching for bikinis and acai in between surfs. to see pictures from the trip just look in my album, they can be identified by there siliness and obvious signs of homesickness. hope everyone is well!! talk to you soon
