people in Rio seem really happy that carnival has arrived. As each one from the 12 woke up, I thought, I am in BRAZIL, I am in Brazil, this is not a dream. I am here in Rio de Janeiro. I was contemplating the view of the “ Cristo Redentor” the statue of god. It seem so far away but not impossible to get there. Today was, my day to see how carnival is celebrate. I helped made the turtle image in 12 t-shirts. This image is a symbol from the biology department, what a coincidence, my college has the turtle symbol. After doing all that I went to the Block of Copacabana. I saw a lot of people wearing amazing customs. Customs such as a ballerinas, kiko, chavo, and many others . I saw the ocean near that block. I saw imagines made of sand, it was incredible, how sand was use to create figures I never thought it could be built. Some of those imagines were one cross in a mountain and people climbing to get there. Also, I saw people from different parts of the world: Poland, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Argentina, Italy and more. I knew that since Sarah Americana was talking to all of them with her broken English jaaa. I thought she was courageous enough to talk to a lot of people and not felt embarrass. Apart from all that, I saw the car with the singers and the dancers of samba in front. I wish I knew more what they were singing but I love the rhythm of Samba. I started dancing samba , it was exhausting I think I should dance samba as part of my daily exercise. In the bloco (block) some people wanted to take pictures of my group and I. After this the buses were really full so no choice of taking a taxi. After this, must of us gather to talk about our trip and Bernardo sang and played the guitar. I loved a song he sang with Nubia. This song is called Carta do Amigo.
