Today was a celebration of Ligia's 19th birthday! We had lunch and then sang a different kind of Happy Birthday song ;) I got video of it! And had some delicious cake! It was a giant white cake that was basically, angel food (if you know that type of bread), strawberries on top and throughout, AND a lot of whipped cream! So good! Ligia wanted to have her friends come to a restaurant called The Fifties, basically a really great burger place! So she had to leave around 5 to grab tables because they didn't hold any reservations. The rest of us left the house around 7:30 to get there and eat some food before going to the club! There was 17 of us all on one whole side of the restaurant, it was a lot of fun with great food! I ate a Pic Wrap (sounds like Picky Wrapie when you say it in Portuguese) We sang another Happy Birthday song for Ligia and she had some dessert. We made a lot of commotion with our loud cheers and a lot of claps! It was a wonderful time of celebration! After dinner, Tiago drove two of Ligi'as friends, Ligia and I all to a club/bar called Mondo Birre (Mon-do Bee-he). We had a lot of fun there! The night just kept getting more and more interesting! Everyone was amazed that I was American and some didn't even believe that I was! I met Bernardo from Massachusetts (Living in Curitiba) and Louis who attends Penn State when summer is over. They were both super nice. And I had some conversation with other people too but it was cool talking to people who had fluent english. The rest just tried talking to me with the little that they knew. And I talked some in Portuguese and told friends the words that I know. We stayed at the club from 11-3am and made it home around 4am. I didn't go to bed until 5am and woke up at 12pm. It was a great night with amazing memories to cherish forever! I am down to 8 days left. It is crazy how fast the time here has gone but I have loved every second of it! I am enjoying every last bit of Brasil as much as I possibly can! I want to thank everyone for their continued love and support. And more importantly, PRAYERS! Thank you all so much! More to post soon!
Beijos
Tchau
