Farewell Brazil !

A beautiful Brazilian Toucan
On our last morning in Brazil, we visited the famous Iguassu Bird Park. The park is home to hundreds of species of birds, many of them native to Brazil. Many of the birds live in giant aviaries where humans can walk around and observe them in their natural habitats. In addition to birds, the park houses butterflies and reptiles. Walking through the Brazilian forest and observing these colorful and exotic creatures was the ideal way to end our magical time in Brazil.
Now we are home, safe and sound. We miss our dear friends, especially Wilson, Rafael and Sr. Helenice - each of them took very special care of us. We are so grateful for this wonderful experience and can't wait to share all that we learned with everyone back in Dallas.

We've grown very close over these last few days....

How we hate to say farewell to Rafael!
