Jardim Botanico

On Sunday, our group met our research advisor, Dr. Ghavami, at the botanical gardens in Rio. He was an excellent tour guide since he walks through the gardens every weekend for exercise and enjoyment :) The botanical gardens were very nice, and at points reminded me of a rainforest with huge trees, vines, and greenness everywhere. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge my battery so I didn't take many good pictures. Instead, I've stolen some shots from the internet (attached below)

One of my favorite parts: the orchid house :)

These cuties were everywhere!
