amazonic fireplaces

Monday the family and I took some time off and went to one of our favorite spots two hours or so from here and 14 km of dirt road off the highway. We had a great time hiking, riding horses, hot tubbing (Lucy even learned how to say 'hot tub'), and sitting around the fire. It was really cold both nights, so cold you could feel the fire go out at night while we slept. The farm hotel isn't exactly in the Amazon but it is located within a patch of Atlantic rainforest (but still doesn't explain the cold... some one help me on that one). I'll post a link later of some of our adventures.
