update - en breve

mercomix:

- everyone in the town got super excited about this HUGE festival coming to town... it was like bread and honey, only with more food.
- there was a show every night on the weekend i went to 2 and skipped out on the third (good thing..)
- on sunday our group was expected to put on a "spectacle" showcasing canadian culture. we did a dance and put on a play.
- after the show we got super drunk at someones house, and thus missed out on the last show... apparently there were boys looking for some of the girls.

JAE:
august 8th, 2008 --> i was part of a group that was supposed to put on an educational activity day to teach the rest of the group about the culture here.
- we learned 2 traditional dances
- we all dressed up in traditional clothing
- we learned/taught how to lasso
- i learned so much ridiculous shit about the culture here, did papier mache and made puppets for the most amazing puppet show ever on earth

last weekend:
- i went with some of the other participants and our families and climbed a mountain.

this week:
- i am helping paint and beautify a school for children with special needs --> i have red paint in my hair and it wont come out.

today:
- i was walking and i saw a gaucho (a cowboy of sorts) riding a horse down the street while talking on his cell phone.
WTF, IS THIS FOR REAL

tonight:
marylenes (our supervisor) birthday! --> we're having churrasco (bbq but BETTER) and moustache party which means its an excellent night for drinking way too much for very little money.

i have so many fucking photos to upload at this point i dont think ill be able to. the reason that i am sitting in this internet cafe right now is to upload, but thse computer is not reading the fucking harddrive. and i dont know what to do.
there are less than 40 days left in teh brazilian phase.. this weekend is mid-project and the whole group is going on a trip. i cant believe it.. times flying by so fast!
bah. im sorry about the lack of photos! i have 4 up on my personal flickr right now... you can check them out if you want. theyre all from the camp. i keep saying this, but next time hopefully ill get a computer that will read the hard drive and HOPEFULLY ill have more up.
