This photo is one of my favorite from our time in Foz do Iguaçu. The natural beauty of this city is just stunning, and really can encapsulate the natural beauty that is just outside of the city, the Iguassu Falls. I decided to create this poster as a poster that the tourism bureau could...
After traveling 12 hours overnight and getting into Manaus at 5am, we got into a small passenger van and drove two hours to the Maroaga Cave, in the Amazon Rainforest. We were all fairly exhausted but that also made it fun. We had all started interacting with each other heavily in the last 12...
My favorite part of the trip was the bird park in Foz do Iguacu. While on the way to the falls, we stopped at a bird park. At first I didn’t expect much, I just thought it was a regular zoo-like place, but that was not the case. There was so much to see...
The skiff excursions during the Amazon River cruise were very insightful. Even on the first day. When we first got on the boat I thought it was just going to be a normal boat ride, but boy was I wrong. It was so much more than that! And the tour guide that we had...
The boat ride was interesting to say the least. Right after we checked out of the hotel we went directly to the boat. I’ve always enjoyed riding in boats. When I was younger my great Uncle would drive me and my cousins on the lake near his house. So riding on the boat while...

Also, the green trees were a fitting background for the frog. One of my favorite birds I saw was the yellow-crowned parakeet....
The origins of this photo are funny, and somewhat scary. We were out on the morning safari, shortly after a piranha invited itself onto the boat, when Tamara recommended I get in to take a picture with a Caiman. Piro, our guide, encouraged me too! I was nervous but since the guide also recommended,...
People come in and out of our lives. Sometimes you only recall people you’ve met when you reflect on a place or time, and they were in it. Other times you meet people, and they are suddenly and without warning part of your life. You click, and laugh at the same jokes, no real...
Three years ago, we were at the Baltimore Aquarium as a family. My 11year old daughter said, “I hope I see a Sloth.” I laughed because I honestly didn’t think sloths were real. How could they be when for 53 years, I have never heard of a sloth? High in a tree was a...
