Third day in Brazil







Hello! I've been so busy here in Brazil that I didn't have time to post something here.







In my third day in Brazil, Ana went with me to the mall and we saw a children's fashion show.














It was very funny to see those little kids with those small clothes walking with no sense on the runaway..














We still have more photos of Ana's school and me at the mall :D









Me on Jordana's head! Like I said, people really liked me! :)









Me on Joana's arm! With a nice brazilian bracelet showing their flag..


Helping Ana to study! She does it everyday..
Well, I have to go now but the photos didn't finnish..
tomorrow I'll post more :)
I'm missing so much my mom! Next Monday I'll be going to the U.S. :)
I'm so excited! And hoping it will be less longer than my trip to Brazil!
See you!

Second day in Brazil

Yesterday was my second day in Brazil. We were going to see the most beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro city, but the weather is terrible. It was raining a lot yesterday, so we couldn't go there. Today is still raining, but Ana is hoping it will get better. It was about 19ºC which they consider very cold. But I'm used to!

So.. Ana and I went to a children's fashion show! It was so funny! There were children who was 1 year old on the runaway. They were so cute. Me and Ana laughed a lot.

I'll post the photos of yesterday, when I visited Ana's school.

Me in the classroom. Ana always sits in front the blackboard, very close from the teachers. Her classmates are very nice. They really liked me and my story :D

studying Physics... It's so boring.. but her teacher is very funny. I'm learning Portuguese with his idiot jokes..

Renata's hand, me and part of Ana. Renata was the first one to know me! She thought I'm very cute. Yay! :D

A small view of the school. The school is very big. They also have a gothic church in school! It's a Catholic school, but they are not strong with religion. You don't have to be a Catholic or something like that. They really respect you. It's very nice.

Barbara, Ana's friend. She is always very happy! She helped us to find nice places to take photos and she didn't want to let me go! She's awesome.

Me at the garden. I loved this flower. It's very beautiful.. brazil doesn't seem to be in autumn.. well, not the autumn I'm used!




This plant was the first thing that Portugal took from Brazil in the 1500's. It's very rare now.



Turtles are very important in Brazil, so we are in banknotes! Isn't it nice?

We still have many photos, but it will be for tomorrow.
We're hoping the sun will come tomorrow and we'll go in the museum!

Bye :)

Tobi in Brazil!

Hello, people! After a long journey I finally arrived in Ana's home. It was yesterday and Ana's mom was very curious to know what there were in the envelope. I could hear saying: "oh! is this little tobi?" When Ana arrived at home they opened the envelope, and I say hello to everybody!


After Ana said it was better if I take a nap in a comfortable bed. I really needed to rest!

Me in my warm bed which is also Ana's cardigan!
When I woke up we had dinner and Ana showed me a typical meal in Brazil.


Rice and Beans are the main food in Brazil, acording to Ana. Don't matter if the person is rich or poor. Beans are salt and not sweet.. it's very different! But it's also delicious..

After dinner, Ana showed me some places in her house:

Ana's mom collects cats like these ones. They're very cute!


This is Sophie. Their real cat. I think she didn't like me.. When I said it to Ana, she said that it's normal. Sophie doesn't like anybody...

This portrait shows Tamar project, which is a brazilian project in defense of turtles in Brazil! Ana told me that this picture was took in Bahia (a brazilian state) and they take care of many rare turtles. They do take care of the wild turtles too. With this project, the number of turtles has really increased in Brazil's coast. When she told me about this, I was so happy! It's very nice to know that still there are people who cares about us.




Ana also showed me Brazil's map. Brazil is very big! I was very surprised! Ana told me that to arrive in Argentina, she stayed two and half hours in the airplane! Rio de Janeiro is a little state in south-east.



In this one I'm in Brazil and Ana's finger is in Hungary where my mom is right now! I really miss her! But I know she is happy with my travel and wishing everything will be fine!
We still have many photos of today! But Ana is saying that I need to sleep because tomorrow we'll visit MAC which is the most famous museum in Niterói, the city I am.
And Hopefully the weather will be better than today. Today was raining a lot. If this wheater continues I'll not see Sugar Loaf and Christ across the Guanabara bay because of the mist.. Today was very hot for me, but Ana said it was very cold for her! The temperature was about 24ºC! Everybody was using many clothes! It's so different of Europe!
Anyway, I must go! Tomorrow I'll post the photos we took in Ana's school. She's in her last year. So she is studying a lot, but her classmates were really very cool with me!
Wait to see!
Hugs (specially for my mom who I'm missing so much!),
Tobi
