Last Two Weeks

   I went to a wedding, and it was the first time I wore a dress shirt here. There was a cerimony just like in Canada. After the cerimony the was a party and super. I walked around talking to all the people I knew and then I had some super. After eating my host brother and I went to the birthday party of our friend Ana. It was a good party and the was lots of people. I left somewhat early because I was almost collapsed with exhaustion.
   The next day we returned to the same place as the wedding party for lunch. There was a lot of people there too. After lunch everybody came to watch the big championship game between Ituano and Santos. Most of the people there cheered for Ituano just to make the Santos fans mad (Ituano has very few fans here).
   During the Easter holidays we spent most of the time at the cabin of our friend Adriano. We watched São Paulo win 3-0 with Boto Fogo. On Sunday the pub had a great show of rock which I went to. It was nice to find out more about brazilian rock. My cellphone now has a lot of brazilian music.
  On Saturday we had a capoeira practice with people from other cities, because a lot of people came to Guaracai to visit family during the holidays. It was nice to see all the people there, and the capoeira with all the different people was high  quality.

Extra Stuff in the South

    On Aprils Fools day our main guide, one of the monitors, two of my friends, and I pulled a prank. Since we are not allowed to drink on Rotary trips we decided to make it look like my friend and I was drunk, on drugs and smoking. They bought one beer and poured it all over my hair and clothes, and then I layed down on the bathroom floor with my pilsner blanket pretending to be passed out. I also had the beer bottle on the side and a smoke in my fingers.
   We then waited for the other monitor and the rotary champerone. When they came my friend was on the top of the bed dancing a famous dance in Brazil called leppo leppo. My other friend was curled up with a blanket looking scared and saying that he told us not to drink. The rotary person then found me and stomped on my foot while calling us all idiots  and saying we were all going to miss the best part of the trip. Later when she found out it was a prank she called us sons of bitches.
  I also forgot they left me behind in a museum in Curitiba.
    At the talent show Kevin (Tawain and Canada), Martin (Mexico), Jesse (USA), and I did capoeira. Jesse and I were the only ones who train regularly in our cities. Jessie trains 5 days a week, which is a lot more than me.
