Colorado is a bounty of unique experiences for adventurers. But it also has a mellow, laid-back side that's great for people of all ages. My research into taking a trip to Colorado may have started with looking for cheap airplane tickets one weekend, but what really convinced me was all of the options for exploring outside Denver--a verifiable playground for nature and scenery enthusiasts!  

Whether you were drawn here by my photos or someone else's, I can guarantee that after seeing photos of the Lencois Maranhenses in Brazil, you immediately wanted to go! 

That's my story--or part of it. Jet is Brazilian, if you didn't know, and when he announced that his parents were having their 50th anniversary in Brazil this year, and that we would be going, I knew that I could jump at the opportunity to plan our own little tour of his home country, including this incredible-looking desert filled with freshwater lagoons! It had been 10 years since we last visited here, afterall, and with a country this big, there are no shortage of places to visit!
