Joy, oh joy--our second visitor--Ana Teresa (AT) or Tete from Portugal. A great excuse to do several things I'd always wanted to do, including a Sunday afternoon walk in the Floresta da Tijuca (the world's largest urban forest
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tijuca_Forest, a samba school rehearsal, and a walk along the calcadao the entire length of Copacabana Beach.

And of course there were the obligatory beach visits.
AT was also a key participant a very important event: Alex's first haircut. I have no idea why we let it get so long. As the following pictures prove, his long curls were truly out of control.
Alex seemed to enjoy the new experience and my little baby was transformed into an adorable little boy.
