A boat trip

The highlight of our vacation was a boat ride around half of the peninsula of Buzios. There were only about a dozen people on the boat, and the weather was just about perfect.

Summer and Cary each got their pictures taken with their hands at the wheel. Of course, the boat wasn't moving when they let them take control! We also met a nice, older Jewish couple from Sweden during this trip. The man showed us the tattoo on his arm from when he was marked by the Germans to go to Auswitz. We were all pretty amazed. We had a good chat and I think we helped them feel a little better about "Christians" in general.

Not everyone had a great time on the trip. Sydney spent the last half of the trip lying down trying to sleep it away - to no avail. The rest of us had a great time, though. Shannon and Kilah even went for a swim right from the boat. Definitely a good day!
