I have been saying that i would post a story on brazil soon. to be honest, i don't think it's ever going to happen. every time i sit down at my computer to write about it, i end up wandering over to my bed and reading a book instead. i'm sorry. but if you were a real friend you would have come to my slideshow anyway. :) so these photos will have to suffice. use your imagination, there are stories in every one of them.

	The Beach The center of all activity in Rio... home of sport, relaxation, and the start of many romances	Street Scenes Leisure, food, music and dance all come alive on the streets of Brazil
	Faces The richest story of Brazil is told in the faces of its people.	Futbol The beautiful game is an integral part of life for Brazilians of all ages... and Maracana Stadium in Rio is the largest soccer stadium in the world
	Viewpoints A truly dynamic landscape of ocean, beaches, lagoons and mountains, Rio earns its reputation as one of the world's most beautiful cities	Buildings Buildings facades tell rich stories of the past, and offer clues of the present through cracked doors and open windows
