2014 World Cup

In 2014 the World Cup was in Brazil. Since I had been to a few world cups at that point, it seemed a great excuse to visit Brazil for the first time. My friend Doug from Hermosa Beach was able to join me. We couldn’t get match tickes in Rio or Sao Paulo, so we ended up in Salvador and Recife in the north of Brazil.
