Petrópolis

Saturday Jessica and I went to Petrópolis, known as the Imperial City of Brazil. The skies were clear and the sun was brilliant! We started off going to all the tourists sites, the Crystal Palace, the Cathedral, the Clock of Flowers, Liberty plaza, and more. Jessica celebrated her 14th birthday on Monday so this trip was her birthday present.
The architecture of this city is just breath taking. Every building, including the bank, is so elaborate. I just love all the detail, it makes the overall feeling of the city so peaceful.
Behind this building there was a WW2 museum. It was interesting to see how Brazil was involved and their perspective on the war. It was the smallest museum I have ever seen...

It might be possible that we took too many pictures... but is that possible? Here is a sample of the pictures that we took!
