City of Extremes

Tall: 22 stories up is just child's play. It's the average height of all the other surrounding buildings. Of course the hills that the city is built on make some of them appear lots taller.
Colorful: Every apartment building and even every apartment is a bold bright color.
European: Walking down the street in the Centro district is a lot like walking down the street in Europe... I'm sure there's a reason for that. Mom and Katie in front of the National Theater.
Crowded: Ten lanes of traffic, that can easily be at a stand-still during rush hour.
Dangerous: Mom or Dad has to pick up the kids from school everyday because it is unwise for them to walk the half-block home alone. The dots on the sidewalk are Dad, Christa & Matthew. Trust me.
Peaceful: Inside. Outside the parrots were imitating monkey calls at the top of their lungs. Parrots are louder than you think.

Tropical: The city park is so dense with plants, that you don't hear the busy street.

I'm really jealous! It looks like we won't be able to go to Brazil, because they are probably coming home before we have a chance to go. :(
