Memories Made in Brazil

By Micaelli Olveira

In my opinion, Brazil is the most beautiful place in the world! The people there, in Rio de Janeiro, are super loving and kind, and they’re especially gorgeous. I visited when I had my 10th birthday. My dad and I traveled by plane, and we got a big house full of rooms that came with a pool and a sauna. I met 60 of my family members who all came to my 10th birthday party! 
While we stayed there we went on a jet ski that was on the lake behind the house. We swam in the pool,  relaxed in the sauna, and my cousins did my hair. My dad and I went to many places while we were there. We went to a restaurant, shopping, and exploring the lively downtown. 
We also went to climb and explore a mountain. We went three levels up and stopped at two different waterfalls and had so much fun! When we got to the third level of the mountain, we saw a beautiful waterfall with a stream of running water, there were rocks across it and we went across them looking at the beautiful sight! 
We also saw beautiful homes, got popcorn and cotton candy at an outdoor event, and saw a beautiful big church. My family and I even went on this thing called “Pão de Açúcar” (SugarLoaf) where you ride on this vehicle on a zip line that takes you from one mountain to the other. It was beautiful!

We also went to the beach. When we got out of the car and we saw it was at the bottom of a mountain. We had to walk down obstacles and it was a struggle to get down, a bit dangerous, but we got to the beach. Then, all we had to worry about was how we were going to get back to the car. It was super nice at the beach, the waves were really big and me, my cousins, my dad, and my uncle dove into the giant waves! One of the times we dove, I tumbled back to the shore. 

The water at the beach wasn’t cold, it was very nice to swim. There was a big crack in the mountain on the side that was a very big and narrow cave. I wanted to explore inside but when we all went in, there were bugs all over the walls. My cousins and I stayed in the car later while the others were driving. It was really fun, we talked, cracked jokes, and hung out. A couple days later, we went to a fast food place to get some burgers, those burgers were really good, a lot better than McDonalds. 

My time in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro was really fun and exciting for me, and exciting. I recommend Copacabana Beach. It is amazing. Other places I want to travel to are, the country of Georgia, NewYork, The Caribbean, Japan, and many more!
