Brazil!


I attended SIGIR2005 in Salvador Brazil, but first I got to spend a weekend in Rio on the way there.

The food was amazing!

Interesting trees in Rio (I don't know what kind they are... does anybody?)

The sand castles of Rio.  There were a number of artists who built elaborate sand pieces along the beach.

The food and music were great, but the best part of Rio was learning how to make a sandcastle. My favorite sand castle had a sign next to it offering classes.  I signed up for a private lesson.  About $20 for 45 minutes (before I had to run to the airport) and this is the result.  Cool.
