Buzios: Round 2

  You may recall Jason and I tried unsuccessfully back in January to take in the beautiful scenery in Buzios; but, Mother Nature had other plans for us.  So, we decided to venture back to this former  fishing town this past weekend to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary.  This time around the weather and scenery didn't disappoint!  And neither did the accommodations--Jason found the perfect hotel nestled along the Atlantic coast.  The Villa Rasa Marina is a cozy and rustic boutique hotel with amazing views of the emerald waters and a short drive to "Centro" (downtown), where we shopped and dined along the harbor.  Needless to say, it was a fabulous weekend and I am pretty sure this will be our go-to  place for future weekend getaways! 


Havaianas are the widely popular flip-flops made in Brazil and are sold along practically every street corner in Buzios.  It wouldn't surprise me if Havaianas are the national shoe of Brazil--ha!
  Friday is a holiday in Brazil, so we have plans to head to Rio for the weekend for more sight-seeing and to celebrate Jason's birthday on Saturday.  We are looking forward to another family adventure!
 
Have a great weekend!
