Brazil

Travel to Brazil 

"Because the whole world will be there in 2014."

First country to travel on my bucket list is, Brazil.

Beside Mexico being the "first" country to travel, I really don't count it to be. It's a two hour drive and I've been there many times. I want to go far away, hours away!

Mardi Gras

A little history behind Mardi Gras. Is a Christian cultural event and significant is a celebration prior to fasting season of Lent. This year parade took place a day before Ash Wednesday, February 12. The tradition is; wearing masks or costumes, dancing, singing, sports competitions, parades, etc. Brazil is not the only place Mardi Gras occur. They also take place in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, and New Orleans, U.S.

"Big Jesus"

Christ the Redeemer, is the name of the statue not "Big Jesus." Its located in the Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca forest National park over looking the city, Rio de Janerio. A symbol of Brazilian Christianity, and it has become an icon to the city and Brazil.

Football

In other words soccer, but around the world is known as football. I'm not crazy soccer fan, but I enjoy watching soccer. Actually is the only sport I enjoy watching, besides American football. My first world cup that I ever saw was FIFA in South Africa. The games are intense especially when you're surrounded by crazy soccer fans. When the tournament ended I was just excited for the next one. Found out in 2014 it will take place in Brazil. I would love to go personally and watch it live, but need money for tickets, hotel, etc. I'll just surround myself will other football fans :) By the way the teams I'm rooting for are Spain, Germany, Brazil and Mexico.
