Internet!! Yayyy, the internet was fixed this morning.
I feel like everything is amazing in its own way here. It was a beautiful day today, about 25 degrees Celsius, which in Fahrenheit would be about 75 degrees. I went to the roof of the house and laid in the sun with my computer. Denise and Beto (host mom and dad) took me to the beach today. Denise and I walked down to the most amazing sight. It’s the water below the Christ redeemer. I have never seen a more beautiful sight. I forgot my camera, but when I go back I will be sure to post the pictures. Beto was fishing with all the other men lined up at the ocean front, it was one of those moments where you are in a movie and you don’t want it to end.
Everyday my Portuguese is improving, and we understand each other more and more. Before you know it, I will be speaking fluentlyJ. The food I tried today was o belo (cake- unlike any cake I have tasted- it was sticky, but I must find more of it), and a fruit that was longer with a white inside. It was boiled and served with butter spread on top of it and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top as well. Don’t even ask me to describe it; America lacks creative tastes such as this. The best part of the day was all the laughter at dinner… MUITO LEGAL. This means very cool, but the conversation was very funny. I showed them my I-pod touch and Beto turned into a little kid at a candy store. We played with the app “google translater” (which has been extremely helpful thus far), and began teaching each other our languages. Basically, a perfect way to end the day.
