Parabéns pela Formatura!

Nov. 27

I went to Flavia's Formatura. Which is like a graduation prom type deal. Except thier is a little well a lot different. Starting at 8pm there is a dinner for family and close friends and they toast and have a big congrats to the graduates and stuff. That goes until around 11pm. At around 11 most of the adults leave and they have the dancing and partying, That doesn't end until like 3 or 4 in the morning. And if you are graduating and you don't pay that fee for being able to attend the dinner and prom then you don't go unless some one gives you one of their ten tickets. Apperently it is really expensive.

let's go out tonight Nov.21

Went to a concert! It was a lot of fun I got so tired though I was litterally falling over by the end of the morning. Yes morning! It was like 4 am before it ended and then another 30 min drive home. I was exhausted. If anyone knows me they know I can't stnd country. But here i have to make the distinction between me not liking American country and Brasilian country, they are o different and I like country music here in Brasil. And that is a good thing because that is all people in Dourados listen to.

Pantanal and Bonito Nov. 2 to Nov. 8

We did so much in one week it was crazy evryday we did something. Most days we had to get up pretty early. We were in Pantanal Nov. 2nd to the afternoon of Nov. 4th. We went fishing, horseback riding, on a safari, and hiking. There were so many alligators it was insane. They walk so weird. It was so gorgeous though. We hung out in the hammocks whenever we could. There were an insane amount of awesome people o the trip. We shared traditional dances from each country and had fun learning bad words in other languages.

Bonito was incredible my favorite part of the trip. They say that Bonito is even better then the Amazon they just don't have as much publicity and such. We in Bonito from the night of the fourth til the morning of the eighth. We went to the waterfall park, rafting, snorkeling, and to the caves. We went out to dinner every night and I tried Jacara alligator. It was actually really good. While we were at the caves we ran into another rotary group and there was a guy from WV in the group and we are both going to WVU next year. After getting back to te hotel one day after dinner I was going through my stuff because I was going to take a shower and i lifted up my towel and a taranchula was in my stuff. It was so scary, I screamed and my roommates saw why and we all ran screaming out of the room. One of the shaporones came and got it but i am sure we woke the etire hotel.
