We have gone to Gramado and Canela with every visitor we have had in our 5 years here, plus several trips on our own and the Missionary Conferences in 2007 and 2008. It really is a great place.
Around this time of year there are a couple of great Christmas shows and parades for the family to take in. In addition, you can always drop by Santa's South American home on the road between Gramado and Canela.
We tried to check out the parade and a show, but the fireworks frightened Elisa and it was raining. We decided to turn in and try to see Santa at his house the next day. That was a lot of fun. We still had to battle the rain, but that isn't out of the ordinary for that area in the Brazilian mountains. Besides the rain, we also delt with cooler tempteratures. We have been seeing temperatures around 100 the last week or two. When we left these mountains towns last Saturday it was 51 degrees and raining. Much cooler!
In our farewell tour to Gramado and Canela we also visited our favorite German restuarant 3 times and saw some of our good friends (Fabio, Thais and baby Natalia) at the house.
Here are some pictures of our last Gramado/Canela trip:
