Got our Brazil visas back in the mail today, less than a week after dropping off our applications at the consulate!
Did another REI run and picked up a Gopro Hero4 Silver. This thing does everything: 4K video, slowmo, time-lapse, automatically adjusts for low light, waterproof to 100', and I can control it by phone, including downloading and sharing video. Have a strap attachment in the mail so I can mount it on a backpack strap.
Also got a new backpack: an Osprey Farpoint 55! Comes with a modular daypack that can be attached to either the back or the front, and with the daypack off it's almost carry-on size. I'm trying to really pare down what I'm bringing, did a test pack and am at 21 pounds! Really looking forward to traveling light. Will do the obligatory packing list as a future post.
The REI employees recognize us by now- reminder to self that Peter and Ward want us to come by after we get back to tell them how everything went!
