On Friday, after spending the morning trying, unsuccessfully, to get our visa renewed we needed a fun afternoon. My friend sent me a text and asked if we were interested in taking a boat ride with her and her girls. We quickly said yes and headed out to door. Sahara and Tirza were excited and Bria was nervous. We later realized she was imagining more of a raft than a big boat because she kept asking how wet she was going to get:)
We rode on a small passenger boat across the river, it was all enclosed and the girls thought it was a great adventure. When we got to the other side there wasn't much there so we took another boat back across the river but this time up the river to Belem. Belem is one of our favorite places to visit. It was a small ferry boat and we went right under the huge April 25th bridge. We had gorgeous views of the city as well as the bridge and the Belem area. The second boat had an outside deck area that Sahara and Mark stayed on the entire ride. Bria stayed inside and Tirza went out a few times, it was super windy outside.
Once we got to Belem we walked to the train, over a freeway overpass, and rode the train back to where we had parked our car. Boats and trains... the girls loved it! Oh and the car broke down later that evening and they got to ride home in a taxi...
Just FYI... Tirza cut her own hair last night! I will eventually take a picture and post about the event but I am just not there yet.

Great fun! Glad the boat was better than Bria was expecting!
Sam, at age 16 did the same thing with the ferry in Sydney. He was nervous the first 1/2 of the trip, finally deciding we weren't all going down!
