I've meaning to post this for quite some time but I only just now got around to it. This post is about the single coolest experience of my life (so far, but will be very hard to top). (Sorry for not using the proper Portuguese character set, I don't know how to on this forum.)

Back in 1999-2000 my best friend and I did some pro-bono web site work for a Brazilian orphanage for HIV+ children. You can still see that work today here, though unless you can read Portuguese it'll probably be lost on you. Smile

In return, the doctor running the orphanage (named Sociedade Viva Cazuza) invited us to Rio de Janeiro for a week so that we could learn firsthand about what they do and see their city. We left for Rio on August 11, 2000 and returned to KC on August 18, 2000.

For the remainder of the story and lots of photos, please continue on to my full post, which includes panoramic photos too wide to display here.

Enjoy!
