Brazil: Rio's Botanical Gardens

Right as we walked in the gardens...huge ant trail!  It was pretty cool to see these little guys!
Justo al entrar en el parque hubo estas hormigas...muy bakan verlas!

Welcome to Rio's Botanical Gardens!  We were happy to spend the afternoon here...mostly underneath shaded trails...a nice break from the humidity and heat.  It is amazing to see all the plant life here...with so many varieties of everything...just gorgeous! It took us hours to walk through and still we didn't see most of it!
Bienvenidos al Jardin Botanico de Rio!  Nos gusto mucho estar aqui...abajo de los arboles...un descansito del calor.  Con tantas plantas aqui para ver...pasamos horas y todavia no vimos todo!

Azaleia determined the next stop would be the playground in the middle of the Botanical Gardens!  It was such a pretty playground with sand boxes...swings...cute house...and lots of kids playing!
Azaleia decidio guiarnos al parque de ninos..fue muy lindo...con muchos ninos!

A stroll through the Orchid House...so pretty!

Don't we look so young in this photo?  Parecemos muy jovenes en esta foto, no?

So of course we loved our visit to the Botanical Gardens!  I mean...wow!  It was a little paradise for an afternoon.  To live in a green green world with gorgeous trees and plants and pretty things...sign me up!
