Gary and Diane arrived the next morning to Sao Paulo. We rented a car and took a road trip along the coast. It was so beautiful drive through the little beach towns and see the ocean and islands. Our final destination was Paraty a quaint old town where we could rent a boat and snorkel. We had a lot of adventures along the way. We lost our keys in the ocean, hotwired our car, couldn't find any vacancies but that made the trip all the more memorable. We were pleasantly surprised when on the way home we were given first class seats again :) That was a nice way to end a trip.
Grant and Timmie went out on boogie boards for hours. We later learned one reason they were gone for so long was they walked the wrong way on the beach when they came out and got a little turned around.

Gary showing us his muscles to the amusement of his wife.
Lunch beachside one day. We needed a table so a boogie board was drudged up and we feasted on peanut butter and jelly.
Random moments in the car.
Walkie Talkies were a great source of entertainment between cars. We played the game of starting a song and then the other car finish the line. They also helped when we got separated from each other.
One of the many beautiful views as we drove.
We pulled beside the road to enjoy the view. The highway was right along side the coast for most of our trip so we had a lot of stops like this one.
We ate a lot of pizza in Brazil. Everywhere I looked there were pizzarias. We really liked the spinach pizza they served. 
Here was our boat for the day. We made it to Parati and first thing in the morning went to the port and asked around until we found a good price to rent a boat for the day with snorkel equipment. We were on the water over 5 hours and got to snorkel at three locations. The view was great the captain was friendly and we had a sunny sunny day. 
Our brave captain. 
Grant and I on the lower deck.
Denice, Me and Diane enjoying the view from the top. 
Grant found a starfish and brought it up to show us in the boat. We later watched it flip itself over on the bottom of the ocean.
The guys loved jumping off the top deck of the boat into the water over and over again.
The view riding on the top deck of the boat. We passed many islands some were populated other only had one large mansion.
Here is the view as we returned to the harbor.
At the end of our day here is the crew minus me. Our captain was a great sport and the boat was great.
One of the streets in Parati...it was extremely picturesque. We walked around the streets at night and looked at all the shops.

This was called Slippery Rock and it was long natural slide you could go down and end in a deep enough not to hurt. This dare devil was crazy he got a running start and surfed down the rock on his feet. At the end he surfed straight out into the air and far enough passed the rest of the rock and landed in the water below. You never knew what path you would go for sure it was definately a thrill. 
This is me screaming at the top of my lungs as I started to pick up too much speed for my liking. 
Here is Grant going down one of several times he slid down.
The beach had huge boulders scattered along it....really reminded me of a beach I visisted in Portugal. Gorgeous. 
This was the gorgeous beach where the car keys ended up in the ocean. They were in Tim's pocket and the waves were very strong and we lost them. So we talked to the bartender who called a locksmith. Fortunately we left one door unlocked so we could get into the car just not drive it 4 hours back to Sao Paulo. Between my Spanish and Tim's Portuguese we drove the locksmith back to his house and he got the tools to hot wire our car...no I'm not joking :) He made me watch him hot wire it and told me how to put the car back together in Portuguese. We were just thrilled to be able to continue our trip.
