In Brazil!



I have officially arrived in Brazil! I am staying in the guest house at the school. Here is a picture of my electric showerhead...I was told not to switch from warm to cold while the water was running...i might get shocked.
I was able to tour the city of Belem. Belem is one of the biggest port cities on the Amazon river. I was able to eat some amazing fruits!!! With some form of ice cream and condensed milk and chocolate on it. Here is a picture of me on the Amazon River.

I was adventurous somewhat and and tried a chicken heart (after being talked into it). Another strange thing that I have yet to get a picture of is some of the tiny cars here have mounted giant speakers onto the top of their cars in order to blare their music. Really funny to see. Tomorrow I get to meet the students for the first time and watch the classes! I am very excited. Enjoy your Sunday!

    Oh Sarah!
    So incredibly exciting! I am so jealous of all of those things you talked about. The Amazon, the fruits, the condensed milk (which if it is anything like Ecuador, they eat it like candy!. I am praying for you! Have so so much fun!
