Brazil

The land is beautiful here! Its so green and tropical, something I have never experienced before. The weather has been kind of moody you can say. One day it will be really nice and sunny, then the next it will be storming. But the storms are alot different than they are in Idaho. When it lightning the skies light up and turn almost pink, its beautiful. The thunder is alot louder too. One night I was laying in bed and it sounded as if a bomb had hit the ground. It was louder than i had ever heard before.
One thing I didn't enjoy to much here though was the humidity. It made me sick. Im difianlty not used to all the water getting in my lungs.
The food was pretty good for the most part. I tried really hard to have stuff I had never ate before, and that I knew we didn't have at home. We went to a Brazillian BBQ place that was AMAZING! They went around with all types of meat on scewers and gave you little pieces. I tried a chicken heart, and all different types of meats i had never tried before. Then they had a huge salad bar that had all types of different things. They had squid and I had never tried it before so I thought I would give it a try. It wasn't to bad. Just very rubbery, but that was kind of expected. Then they brought us this plate of what looked like really thin slices of fish covered in this brown sauce. Me and on of the coaches tried it, and it was raw salmon. It was delicious! No on else liked it so we ate the rest of it. It was really fun trying out different foods I had never had before.
Over all I loved Brazil. It was something that Im never going to forget. I made lots of new friends and met people from all around the world that are alot of fun and amazing. Im so happy that I got the expierence to come on this trip. Hopefully next year I will be in the Czec and doing the same thing.
