We live in Macae Rio Brazil so when all the news stories report flooding in Rio State they are referring to the entire state. Although many think that we are directly North of Rio de Janeiro you can see on the map below that we are mostly East (We are located at the g in Nova Friburgo).

I just wanted to let everyone know that while we are experiencing rain our town in safe from flooding. Nova Friburgo lies three hours away while Teresopolis lies around five hours away. Both beautiful cities are nestled in the mountains with gorgeous views of Brazil. Upon visiting these two particular cities I found myself jealous that we lived in such an ugly town. The devastation to these areas breaks my heart.
Our group has actually been trying to plan a weekend getaway in Petropolis but I don't think we will be traveling there anytime soon. For the meantime we will be sticking to Buzios and other nearby weekend spots.
Staying dry.
Tchau,
Sara
