The Texas State Fair

Today was a great day. We went to the Texas State fair. We visited the museum, the planetarium and we watched an Imax movie about dinosaurs. At the museum, we saw animals we hadn't seen at the AMNH in New York. We saw foxes, bulls and some wolves.

Hoje foi um grande dia. Fomos à Feira Estadual do Texas, onde visitamos um museu, um planetário e assistimos a um filme sobre dinossauros. No museu, vimos animais que não tínhamos visto no museu de New York. Vimos raposas, búfalos e lobos.
We also saw stones which shine at the dark light, those were very nice.
Some of the girls wished they could take some of the stones back home and Julien also would like to have one to decorate his bedroom, but that wasn't possible.

Vimos também pedras que brilhavam na luz negra, muito bonitas. As meninas queriam poder levar para casa e Julien também queria para decorar o quarto dele, mas isso não foi possível.

At the planetarium, the floor was full of stars painted on it. Then we saw interesting things about biology like the DNA code, evolution, animals and much more. We would like to thank our teachers Lara, Dori and Milena who taught us many things about evolution before coming to the USA.

No planetário, no chão haviam estrelas pintadas cobrindo-o. Daí, vimos coisas sobre Biologia como o código DNA, evolução, animais e muito mais. Gostaríamos de agradecer nossos professores Lara, Dori e Milena, que nos ensinaram coisas sobre evolução antes de vimos para os EUA.

Well, there we also heard the sound of an earthquake and a hurricane.

We saw a big white nose that sneezed every 40 seconds. Julien L and Priscila P were scared about it. We couldn't stop laughing for a whole minute.

Bem, lá também ouvimos o som de um terremoto e de um hurricane.

We saw a fake human body that shows how a real human body works. Brenda P was horrified because there was a throwing up simulator.

Vimos uma corpo humano falso que mostra como um real funciona. Brenda P ficou aterrorizada com o simulador de vômito.

Priscila T and I had a picture taken on the heat sensitive camera. That was great.

We watched an IMAX movie about dinosaurs. Actually, we learned many things about dinosaurs and how archeologists work.

Priscila T e eu tiramos uma foto na câmera sensível a calor. Maravilha.

Assistimos ao IMAX sobre dinossauros. Na verdade, aprendemos muitas coisas sobre dinossauris e como arqueologistas trabalham.

Later, we went to a car exhibition and we had many pictures taken in the cars. We all had a picture taken with Bubble beam's car (transformers) but what the girls really wanted was having a photo with the car sales guy.

mais tarde, fomos a uma mostra de carros e tiramos muitas fotos dentro deles. Tiramos uma foto com o carro dos transformers, mas o que as meninas queriam mesmo era uma foto com o vendedor.

We had feet massage on a special chair for 25 cents (Priscila T screamed at the first). I love it so I paid 50 cents to have twice times more massage than they did .
Tomamos massagem nos pés numa cadeira especial por 25 centavos (Priscila primeiro gritou). Eu amei, por isso paguei 50 centavos para ter duas vezes mais massagem que elas.

Then, we went shopping and we saw many things to buy but we didn't buy anything. After all, we went to a Mexican restaurant. We ate a lot of things like nachos, fajitas.

Finally we went back to school where our host families picked us up.

Então , fomos fazer compras, vimos muitas coisas mas não compramos nada. Depois de tudo, fomos a um restaurante Mexicano. comemos muitos nachos e fajitas.

Finalmente voltamos para a escola onde nossas famílias nos buscaram.
