Family, concert, praia do forte
Walter is awesome and so is his mom. I was studying in the living room and the mom looked at my book and all my verbs and was like, ´´portuguese is so hard`´´ Then Walter came in glanced at my book, hit the top of it, and says, ´´ Talk to me...I know more´´ I thought it was so funny. He makes me breakfast every morning and we watch the news and then the mom eats dinner with me. I love my class also. There are 6 of us (all girls) and our teacher is so nice! No English is spoken at all! Also we went to some fort the other day and our guide was talking to us and said he was in a band. I got him to write down the name of the bar and what time it was and I got 3 people to go with me. It was a rock n roll band and he was screaming. The sound was pretty bad but he was so nice. Before the show, he walked us to get something to eat and we had acarje which is very Brasilian, ( I know my bf Anthony Bordane has eaten it!) and then during the show he introduced us and dedicated the show to us and proceeded to play ´´ You shook me all night long´´´!!!! It was so funny! And everyone in the club knew the words! We are in praia do forte this weekend. It is a beach and it is so nice! Mom, you would love it! They have a strip with lots of shops and restaurants and then the beach is two minutes away. Everyone is so relaxed and in their bathing suits. They also have a sea turtle project here. They are so big! I touched one today. Two Brasilian boys hopped the fence and took pictures with it, so I did too! I~m just glad it didn~t bite my hand off! Talk to you soon!

Tony B is my best friend and he doesn't even know it yet!
Hola chica! Are you forgetting all your Spanish yet? Or shall I say, have you found a reason to forget all your Spanish yet? So glad to hear you're enjoying your Brasil experience! Your family sounds awesome and everytime you talk about the food, my mouth waters. Please learn how to cook some of it, my stomach will be waiting!:) I know you're taking tons of pics, can't wait to see them. Thank God people were wearing their bathing suits at the beach. Nothing like seeing a raisin in the buff-- eww! I'll be looking forward to more posts. Remember that one of your goals is to turn Brianna into a wild woman before you return-ha! Chat soon, Clarita:)
