bonito(pretty) waterfalls, pernambuco!

words can't even describe what a fun day we all had today!
we went to a city called Bonito (pretty), about 3 hours away from here..
it wasn't the prettiest city..that's for sure.
however!..only about 30 minutes up we got to see waterfalls!
then our host dad was like..
"why don't you all go rappelling?"
and first Jordan was like "no way am I rappelling down the side of the waterfall."
then I told him I wanted to do it cause it sounded fun..
then our host dad offered to pay for all of us to do it!
so we all went! 
and it was so much fun, and a great experience.
i'm so glad we were able to go.

ps; the falls we repelled down were called "bridal veil falls" but in portuguese of course.
only provo people would understand the humor in that. :)










on our way back, we saw some banana ranches (or farms or whatever!)
so we stopped to take pictures :)

for those of you who do not know, this is me posing as carmen miranda the lady in the tutti frutti hat. 






Then we stopped at a place for a late lunch/early dinner.
It was such an adorable restaurant and we did some good eatin! 


Perfect day!
