Cuiaba, Matto Grosso

In the vacation, Roberta and I traveled to Cuiaba, Matto Grosso. Roberta has family there and it made it easier for us to see all the interesting stuff in and around the city. After our first day there, the temperature dropped to between 6-12′C during the day and we saw in the news that some places reported -2′C at night time. After a couple of days of this, the weather improved and by Wednesday we were back to 35+’C again. During the cold spell, people sleeping in the streets were dying from the cold weather and almost all the stores sold out of any kinds of clothing that could be used for cold weather. We also got to visit Pantanal, and go fishing on a river – complete with alligators sleeping on the river banks hahaha!!We took a huge amount of photos and some video too, I have to edit the video to upload it to Facebook.The only video I have uploaded it one of a large alligator we saw when we were cruising the river to find a good place to fish. I didn’t blog anything while we were on our vacation, as it isn’t really a good idea to advertise that you are not at home. I think that now we are back, I’ll do the same as I did for our trip to Curitiba, and just post about some of the places we visited, putting links to the photos I uploaded to Facebook. I’ll try to put the first one tomorrow, time permitting
