Ready to start the countdown

.. and set off to the beach with our lovely guests to see the fireworks.

Alicia Bayl has been in Brazil for a few months now, busy with her partner setting up a restaurant in Contagem, Minas Gerais. And brother Benjamin has taken time out of his busy schedule as a conductor to visit her for Christmas and for both of them to see the New Year in here in Rio. Great to have them with us.
