Friday was an exciting day for the Brazilians! During school, they worked on relief blocks for printmaking and later on journalism. At lunch, I tried to Skype with some friends in Brazil like Daniel V, Vini L, and Rebecca L. Unfortunately I did not get to because I was in a hurry to talk to a teacher, but Margaret S, Stephanie H, and Ariane L were able to! After school, Priscila P and I were watching TV when suddenly Priscila got excited and ran to the window. After investigating, I discovered she was closely watching two squirrels. After explaining to her that these furry little animals were called "Squirrels" and that they were not pets, Priscila was in shock. She loved them! I had forgotten they did not have squirrels in Brazil
That day the host students were excited to show the Brazilians what Americans do on Friday nights. That means it's time for American high school football! Laura F and I got ready with Carol C, Priscila P, Emmanuele A, and some other friends. After the long process of deciding what to wear (the Brazilian girls ended up wearing heavy coats because it is so cold for them), we headed to the Jesuit football game against Plano West. Jesuit is a brother school of Ursuline, so we went to cheer on the Jesuit Rangers! Emmanuele A was very excited to see the football game and especially enjoyed seeing live touchdowns! Meanwhile, Laura F and I were so excited to introduce our friends at the game to our new "sisters"!

Dear Sara,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you are having a great time together. Ask the girls to post more pictures so that we can have an idea of your adventures there. We miss you all.
By the way, tell how the football game was. I'm curious about that...

Bia! It is so nice to hear from you. We are having so much fun! Sorry I have not posted pictures in this blog. I am trying to find the camera we took pictures of the football game on. I will be sure to post more next time.
ReplyDeleteThe football game was very fun. Carol, Manu, and Priscila went with Laura and I. I think they enjoyed it! They said it was very different from what they have ever seen before. I think Carol was overwhelmed by all of the people! It was an exciting game, but unfortunately our team lost.
Hope to see you soon!
Sara
