I have had a lot of people tell me that I am going to be super tan when I get home, but that is incorrect. Brazil is in winter now, even though there is lots of sun, there is rain too. I am here mainly for volunteer work, which means my volunteer work is the focus of this trip. There are some days when it would be the perfect beach day, but I would rather be surrounded by the culture. I wish everyone could visit Brazil at some point at their life and just see everything that I am seeing. I can say that I have a home here now. My host family said I am always invited here and they have invited me to return back for the world cup… cough hint cough hint. :-D. Looks like I need to get a job! After being here, this just makes me want to travel even more. I have had the travel bug in me since the day my parents put us in a van and travelled the USA. Now I can see how much I value all those trips crammed into a van with brothers and how thankful I am to have seen the places I have seen. It motivates me to do more of this on my own and explore my independence in ways that will challenge me completely. I have friends all over the world now, which means I always have good company where ever I may travel one day. I could not ask for more.
Today we went to just hang out and eat an Acai. Acai’s are my favorite thing to eat here, and on countless occasions the thing to meet someone for. We bought tickets to go see “Hangover 2” tonight in the theater. There will be Portuguese subtitles, which may be a good way for me to learn a little more.
Here are some pictures of Icarai beach in the daytime…
Here is a picture with me and my purse. This is proof that I bought a purse and I am not just saying this to see how many people will believe me. Haha… cough Kelly cough J.
