Hi everybody

                                            

This is our second day of the trip!!!!!! It’s been fun last night we slept in a military base it was cool we have been getting along well but we have been sad. Yesterday we drove for 8 hours that is 565KM and today we are going to try to drive 620KM that’s about 9 hours. This has been a cool trip you guys should do it. So far it has been sunny and hot during the day but cold at night. Yesterday there was a helicopter that landed right next to us it was cool. Right know we are in Mato Grosso. We are staying in Cuiaba in a hotel called Amizon it’s a really cool here. But we are all very tired.

Theres been lots of big trucks driving past us. We at least have 3 more nights in Brazil and then we go to Peru. I will put some pictures. But it has been very hot during the day and it is hard to stay colder. But it’s been a awesome trip so far. Today we saw a dead crocodile on the road and a dead snake it was cool.

Hi,

The last days where pretty fun one thing we did is we went to these huge dunes in Huacachina Peru. And we went on dune buggies and we went sand boarding.  One of the dunes that we went sand boarding was 100 meters high it was pretty fun. 

The next day we were in Lima Peru for 2 days. We liked it because there was KFC, STAREBUCKS, DUCKENDONETS, and lots of other cool places for food.  It was a good brake from driving so we were happy.  The next day we went to Trujillo it was not that fun we just waked around and staid at the hotel. The  next day we went to a place that was a small little town called Mancora but really cool. It had teens everywhere and party’s all night and cool hotels. But one thing did not go my way that night me and my dad wanted to stay at the coolest hotel ever. It was called LOKI it’s a hotel that had huge party’s nice GIRLS and a awesome place to stay. If someone goes to this town GO TO LOKIS. 

Anyway the next day we went to a town called Huaquillas in Ecuador it was pretty boring. Yeah but know we are in Quito and we stayed there for 2 days the first day we stayed at the hotel. The next day we went to the equator and it was awesome so bye one step  I was closer to Brazil and one step closer to Canada and I was in the exact  middle of earth it was really cool. Then we took a big gondola to a top of a mountain and we got to see the hole city. Then we came back down and went to a amusement Park and had lunch there and went on some rides. After that we went back to the hotel and went for dinner at a restaurant called Québec Canada it was cool so we told the owner that we wher Canadian and we just talked and had dinner. 

Then the next day we drove to Colombia. So it’s the 4 country counting Brazil. We miss every buddy in Brazil and looking forward to see family and friends in Canada. I’m looking to see your wedding ante les and uncle Mark and baby Mae. Ok that’s bin the trip for a little bit so ill wright more some other time bye.
