Olà Rotarians!
I've started regular school now. It's really interesting, learning about tourism from the other perspective. I've always been the tourist, but now that I'm actually living in a foreign, touristic country I see things differently. School has been good for making more Brasilian friends as well. Today I went to a "churrasco," a traditional barbeque party. Delicious! It's not Alberta beef, but it'll have to do. At least we have sun, sand, and tropical weather here to make up for it. This week I went to visit a neighbouring city with my host sister, staying at my aunt's house. It's really nice how close Brasilians are with their extended families. There, I saw traditional artesans at work on pottery specific to that region, and did a little shopping. Not a bad way to pass a couple days!
