Today we went to school and the Brazilian students started on their newspaper project in Journalism. After school, Sara H hosted a Brigadeiro dance party for the Brazilian girls, their host students, and some of the girls that went to Brazil last year. We had plenty of Guarana and pizza to go around. Brigadeiro is the best chocolate Brazilian dessert. Chefs Carol C and Brenda P taught us American girls how to make it, and it turned out wonderfully! Carol C asked us to try the condensed milk, but it was weird to us American girls. We were all eager to eat it, but they made us wait until it had cooled down. While we waited, our music DJ, Sara H, put together CDs of Brazilian and American music that reminded us of our trip. We danced a lot in Sara's living room. Brenda P also showed off her rapping skills while Priscila P tried to teach us her rebolation dance moves. It was funny for the Brazilian girls to hear us Americans try to sing and dance to their music. We were all able to sing together to Taylor Swift's "Love Story." Ariane L and Margaret S brought their pictures and videos from our trip so we could look back on our fun times and show the new students what we did. We tried to skype with Daniel and some of the other students of Piedade, but they were not online. While on the computer, we exchanged photos of our friends and family via Orkut and Facebook. I had such a great time and I hope there will be many more parties like this to come!
Hoje, nós fomos para o colėgio e os estudantes Brasileiros começaram seu jornal no projeto de Jornalismo. Depois do colégio, Sara H fez uma festa de brigadeiro e danças para as meninas Brasileiras, suas irmãs e algumas meninas que foram para o Brasil ano passado. Nós tivemos muito Guaraná e pizza para todos. Brigadeiro é a melhor sobremesa de chocolate Brasileira. Chefs Carol C e Brenda P ensinaram a nós, Americanas como fazer-lô e ficou maravilhoso! Carol C pediu que provássemos leite condensado, o que para nós foi estranho. Nós estavamos com muita vontade de comer o brigadeiro, mas elas nos fizeram esperar até que estivesse frio. Enquanto esperávamos, nossa DJ, Sara H, colocou em CDs músicas Brasileiras e Americanas que lembrou nossa viajem. Nós dançamos muito na sala de Sara. Brenda P nos mostrou seu rap enquanto Priscila P tentava nos ensinar a dançar rebolation. Foi engraçado para elas escutarem nós, americanas, tentando cantar musicas em português. Todas nós cantamos Love Story da Taylor Swift. Ariane L e Margaret S levaram com elas, fotos e videos da nossa ida ao Brasil e nós relembramos nossos tempos de diversão e pudemos mostrá-las também, aos novos estudantes o que fizemos. Tentamos falar com Daniel e alguns estudantes da Piedade pelo skype, mas eles não estavam online. No computador, nós mostramos fotos de nossos amigos e família via orkut e facebook. Eu tive um ótimo momento e espero que venham mais festas que nem essa!
Beijos,

The pizza photo is fabulous!! I am very impressed with your culinary skills in making the Brigadeiro - perhaps you can pass along the recipe in an upcoming blog or in the newspaper that the Brazilian students are creating.

Or make the Brigadeiro for your favorite English teacher! :)
