Day 2: Meeting My Family

Day 2: Meeting My Family  

After I got out of the airplane, my family was waiting for me.

They are absolutely adorable. They are so hilarious and so gorgeous. It’s true what they say about Brasilian women, they are just so pretty, and they take good care of their appearances.

Erlane is super cool and really nice. Erline is the younger sister and she is so funny, I almost die every time she talks. The mom’s name is Gracia, with an accent over the first a. She is so sweet, and so smart. She knows everything about Recife, she has a Ph.D in Marine Biology and teaches at the university.

They live in the 4^th floor of an apartment building on the beach. It is beautiful. The living room overlooks the ocean, and you can see along the coast. They also have the cutest puppies ever.

I barely had walked through their apartment door, when they invited me to a Festa for Sao Joao. In Recife during the month of June, they celebrate John the Baptist by throwing parties every weekend. The parties consist of listening to Forro music, which is like a Brasilian version of country music. They also eat multiple dishes made out of corn, to celebrate the harvest.

It was really fun, but I was really tired, and still super shy because I was in shock of being in Brasil.

I came home, and the first thing I did was look up the HEAT game. They have a giant flat screen T.V. but I don’t know how to use technology well so I just watched it online. They won, duh.
