If at first you don't succeed (at landing a jet aircraft with hundreds of people on board), try try again.

Today was mostly a travel day, getting from Iguassu Falls to Paraty (on the coast between Sao Paulo and Rio). The one interesting bit was the landing in Sao Paulo, which the captain decided to abort when we were only a hundred feet or so above the runway. He then gunned it and we flew off again and spent thirty minutes lining up for another approach. Very exciting in a "I wonder if we just nearly died?" sort of way.

Here's a picture of me back at Iguassu Falls to calm your nerves:
