Today the boys had a day to explore the city of Paraty. They were up and exploring by about 9am, and divided into smaller groups for touring. The historical district of the city is gorgeous and has plenty of great shopping. The boys shopped till they dropped, and also found time to walk up to an old fort which has been here since some of the first European settlers. A highlight was running into three of the crew members of the Tocorime while walking the cobblestone streets! We felt like locals, since the crew had told us while on the ship that Paraty is so small that it is impossible to walk down the street without running into someone you know.
We will be up early tomorrow to drive into Rio for our flight to Salvador.
PS The reason there are no photos attached to our group's entries is that no one remembered to bring a cord for uploading! But Mr Giel alone has taken over 500 so we will have lots to share!
