It’s not easy to write these words, but: I’m back, for quite some time already. And it’s not easy to write this because I had such a good time in Brazil, with my family. I’m back in Hamburg with lots of memories, pictures and (of course, I’m still a girl, right?) souvenirs. Not to mention my little food baby thanks to delicious fruits, meat and coconut water for days (months, years, forever!). As you know, this time I took my husband with me – for his first time in Rio de Janeiro and to finally meet my Brazilian family (and I’ve got a huge one!). I guess you could say that he’s now in love with another beautiful girl, the “Cidade Maravilhosa”, hometown of my mother and – even if I never lived there – city of my heart.
For my little travel story, I captured Rio’s beauty with the phone (switching between iPhone 4S, 5S and 6). First of all because I was pretty afraid of walking around the city with my expensive camera (thanks to the ever-increasing crime rate and widespread thievery), but also because it’s easy luggage. ;) So these are all Instagram snapshots and you can follow all pictures (who knows, maybe there will be more) I took in Brazil with the hashtag → #lugoesbrasil2015 (should have been #lugoesrio2015, but I spent one day in São Paulo for work and used the same hashtag last time – only with 2012 – so I just used it again). Anyway, I really hope that one day I will be able to see even more of Brazil, more cities, more beautiful scenery, more people. I don’t know when will be the next time, but I really hope that it won’t take too long. :)
• Have a break… •
…have a vacation! :) Let’s just say that some time off has been much needed since I went on holiday 3 years ago (wow, time REALLY flies!). This year, I’m going back to Brazil, but this time I’m not alone. My husband and I are finally having our honeymoon (and again: time flies – we’ve almost been married for one year in September, isn’t this crazy?), he’ll get to know my Brazilian family and the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. I’m really thrilled and can’t wait to start this little adventure. It’s a lot of first times: our first flight together (unbelievable that we haven’t done this before!), our first vacation together ever (even more unbelievable, right?) and our first year as a married couple in a few days (not unbelievable but still crazy – and the best thing ever!).
My parents are so kind to take care of everything, including my baby boy Rico (gosh, I’ll miss my cat so much – every minute without him breaks my heart, but as I know that he’s in good hands, I guess I’ll have to let go and let my mother spoil him with lots of snacks and cuddles) – thank you so much, I know you’re reading this! ♥
Of course, I’m not leaving you, my dear readers, without having planned what’s happening on my blog during this time. I prepared a few posts for this time, but as I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get online in Brazil (at least, I hope that there won’t be any problems doing small stuff, but I don’t want to spend all my spare time in front of my laptop), I’ll be going down to one post per week instead of four. And if everything goes right, I’ll try to leave some “Postcards from Brazil”, some live updates, from time to time.
So: vacay mode on and off we go! See you again next month, everyone!
