B-e-a-utiful Buzios

It was another perfect day in Brazil :D I ventured off the ship and walked along Buzios in search of a private beach. I climbed over countless rocks and hopped crevices the size of small rivers! I was chased by crabs and little sand beetles (YUCK). Finally, I made it to the beach. The view was amazing; a cove surrounded by rolling hills and caves. Out in the ocean rested Vision and another smaller ship that was anchored for this port. To the right was Buzios' tourist and fashion shops and various restaurants; but here I was, secluded in perfect paradise. Not bothered by shoppers, not bothered by beggars or the pushy sales people, just me and God's perfect land.
I walked along the shoreline, feeling the soft sand squish between my toes, and watched the waves crash. I need this moment to realize how incredibly blessed I am. Most people save their whole lives for an opportunity such as this. To come to Brazil, or really any exotic vacation spot, and enjoy it with the people you love. I can't wait to discover more of what Brazil has to offer with my parents. I'm pretty sure the ENTIRE SHIP knows they are coming because that's all I have been able to talk about for the past two months! Now, it's only two days away and I am soooo excited!!!!!
Tonight is the crew talent show and it should make for an interesting evening.  I didn't prepare anything for the show because I figured if the professional dancers and singers from the casts compete it might discourage the people who want to display a talent that is NOT their job. I am actually really excited to be a part of the audience, to watch the security gaurd sing his song and our stage staff dance his routine. Like I said, it should make for a very interesting night. ;)
