Praia

Went to the beach all day today...amazing. Lots of people during the weekend but I love laying in the sand and listening to the ocean. That´s probably all I will be doing for the next two weeks... lucky me.

We met these Brasilian guys today...so cute but so forward!! They invited us to a `festa` tonight so I might just have to go ;) My friend I was with has a boyfriend back home and this one kid (absolutely gorgeous...the most beautiful eyes...cutest Brazilian I´ve seen yet) would not leave her alone...he´s like ´your boyfriend doesn´t have to find out´ haha. The guys here seriously don´t care if you have a boyfriend, it´s so funny and a little annoying at times...they are so persistent. Good thing I´m single because being here it would be hard to be loyal...the boys are just too adorable (minus the hounding and all the `where are you from...Do you speak Portuguese?` all the time).

Before I left for the beach a neighbor came over and he was so precious! He´s in fourth grade and broke a couple toes playing soccer so they were all wrapped up. He was saying that I´m the first American he´s ever met and talked to. I want a Brazilizan kid...they´re so cute speaking Portuguese with their little accents!

So one more week of classes and then a free week to be at the beach all the time. Then it´s off to Rio...I think there´s a Favela war going on there right now? So that will be super comforting...I just love the sound of gunshots and people dying because of power struggles and drugs. Wooo

I missing home (especially my baby) but this is starting to feel like a second home. Beijos para minha familia...te amo muito. Tchau!!
