Ok sorry for not updating this for awhile, I have been busy and lazy. But I am now which is the important part, so all you readers can see what's up in Brazil. Ok so a long time back, probably around 2 or 3 weeks, I went to a Brazilian rodeo with Travis and Natasha. It was pretty annoying in my opinion. It's like rodeos in the US except they speak Portuguese and have different food. I guess it was kinda cool to see people getting bucked off horses and bulls and watching some of the crazy people in the crowd such as this guy carrying a stroller for a baby over peoples heads hoping to put it someplace. There was no place to put it, there were 35,000 people there. Oh well. After the rodeo we went to Natasha's relatives house and stayed there till 5 in the morning and that was probably more fun the the rodeo, go figure. Since the rodeo I have just been hanging out with friends, going to school learning Portuguese, going to parties, the normal Brazilian thing. It's been really fun though! I love churrascos here. Churrascos are BBQs and they are delicious and fun. Tons of people come to them and you eat and drink and usually swim and play soccer. Its pretty epic and the US doesn't have it so I'm gonna miss them alot when I return. So a new transportation that I have been using recently besides buses are MotoTaxi's. I use them when the buses stop running, which is after 12am. They are easily put, scary as hell. They will take you anywhere in the city for about R$8 which is more or less $4. So that's really cheap but you are betting your life everytime you ride one. Haha just kidding...sorta. They just get you to your destination as quick as possibly even if that means swerving in between cars or running lights or taking streets you didn't know existed at "fun" speeds. Main thing is they are nice to have. I love the food down here. I thought I was gonna hate it cause they eat rice, beans, and some meat everyday but it's still really good after 2 months! Also the dessert here is divine. Some of my favorite desserts are pastel de brigaderio, brigadeiro, white chocolate cake and many many more but all delicious! Last weekend my friend Taly's Dad's friend has a chaqara, which is a farm, and we went there for the day and it was absolutely beautiful. There was a pond and palm trees and it was just what you pictured Brasil as, there should be some pictures of it around this area. Tonight I'm going to my friend's churrasco and tomorrow I'm going clubbing! Woo! Clubs are awesome here, I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them with the next post! The Club I'm going to is called St. Jame's Pub and there are 3 clubs in Marilia, St. James, Unik, and Berlin. All really fun! The second week of November my cousin, Mariana, is taking Travis and I to São Paulo for the week! I'm so excited! We are gonna get to see the city in the week and on the weekend we are going to the beaches! Plus in November also, Harry Potter 7 comes out down here and a bunch of my friends and I are going to see it so I'm psyched about November. I wish there was a way to put up a album of pictures on here in case you read this and don't have facebook, I wil try to find a way but if not, check out my photo's on facebook! Ok that's all for now and I will try to be more diligent about updating this! Tchau meus amigos! Até mais! :D
