Praia do Futuro

Praia do Futuro is one of my favorite swimming beaches in the world because there is virtually no animal life there so you can swim shark and stinky fish smell free. It is great. Plus, it is only a few minutes from my parents' house. It's not the most picturesque beach in their mission but it is still one of our favorites. My mom and I went a couple of times so we could work on our tans/patchy sunburns and our bodyboarding skills. It is a great beach for bodyboarding, surfing, kite surfing, wind surfing, etc. Here's the beach... Here's the beach looking in the other direction...

Here's a picture I took of my mom bodyboarding...

And here's a picture my mom took of me bodyboarding...

If you look closely you can see my hand in the upper left hand corner. In my mom's defense though it was my camera she was taking the picture with so she might not have been too familiar with how to run it. And, I'm secretly glad that she missed me in the picture because I'm not nearly as cute while bodyboarding as my mom is.

Oh, and my mom isn't a horrible missionary...she, unlike the younger missionaries, is allowed to go swimming. Lucky.
