Yes, traveling and enjoying the local food is a blessing and we have traveled all continents but never to Brazil. We got married in the South of Chile, with a stop in Guayaquil, Ecuador on our way in and out of Santiago. We went by train to the South and back by bus... Quite an experience too!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-53083890950965990732014-11-12T14:47:16.492-05:002014-11-12T14:47:16.492-05:00Prachtige foto's van Arizona Mariette.

Esse cactos temos por aqui também, como é bom ver semelhanças entre os países. <br />Menina viajar e comer é tudo de bom que se tem na vida. Amei sua viagem, obrigada por compartilhar.<br />Bjos tenham um ótimo dia. Vocês conhecem o Brasil? Nós moramos no sul, aqui é tudo completamente diferente do resto do país especialmente nossa cultura. Nossa alimentação é a base de carne. Ninguém faz um churrasco como o povo gaúcho.

Cacti can be beautiful as well, we loved to study them, without of course knowing any names.
