Brasilllllloooo

Well I have returned safe and sound from Brasil, it was amazing! I had such a great time but I am exhausted, we did so much in so little time as usual. We went to Porto Alegre which is in Rio Grande do Sul also known as the Gaucho part of Brasil. The Portuguese is more similar to Spanish in this part which is probably why I actually spoke Portuguese while I was there. I cant believe it, the amount of Portuguese I understood and was able to speak, I am literally on my way to being trilingual Im so happy! Anyway, we had a good time, we ate lots of food, lots of Feijao which is a black bean guiso sooooo good! lots of rice, lots of fruit, lots of chocolate from a part called Gramado. Gramado is a city outside of Porto Alegre which is really similar to Lake Tahoe and it has a bunch of little chocolate shops. It was really amazing, the whole trip. Tiago, my little Brazilian friend, well his family told me to come back always, they are soooo sweet and they wouldnt let me pay for anything! And I felt so bad because they accomodated for me for everything because I dont eat meat or milk products, ugh I felt so awful. Brasilians are the sweeetest ppl! I have to live there one day! I must! I know that if I lived in Brazil just six months, I could be fluent easily. Im going to look more into it later for my graduate studies. Anyway, what else? Not much, just back here in Buenos Aires with o my god! 35 days left, and I have to write a paper consisting of 17 pages, and then I have 3 finals and thats it. Wow its really ending really soon and then back to good old California lifestyle, right? English, surfing, and big breakfasts with eggs, bacon, and sausage haha. Well, I gotta go study now and get back into my workout routine and yoga! I havent done yoga in 5 days, I feel so mushy! Talk to you all soon!
