marisol and i were in the parking lot and decided to take a picture! we were going to "class" even though half of our class is missing and tracy wasnt in this picture! but we just came back from the mall. it was alright not that fantastic but there were some cheap stuff :) i dont want to buy sooo much because it has been only my first day! our professor took us to the market place and WOW sooo much fruits, flour (different kinds for different things to make) spices, etc. the environment is a lot different than back at home because people, especially females, they like to wear HEELS! karissa and i discovered that earlier today!

our professor took us to lunch and i will admit the food is really good and they weigh it by pounds! idk how many pounds I ate but it costs me $11 [american money] now we're in our room and we're suppose to go to supermarket and go to BIG BENS to get stuff before the others come home! well i mean back to the hotel! dinner with the 6 of us FINALLY! <3 cant wait for tonight! i really DO NOT MISS HOME at all! i am having soooo much fun here even though it is a lot of walking but that is ok. this trip is worth it and i cannot wait to explore even more!

GO BRASIL <3
