Today was our final full day in Brazil. We began with our final presentations at ESALQ. Each group took a turn presenting on a topic that they found interesting in Brazil and their agriculture. Good discussions were had about each topic and Professor Shirota offered good insights for each topic.
Afterwards, we had lunch at Toque Brasilia for the final time, which was one of our favorite places for lunch. We had a free afternoon so many spent time packing or finishing some journaling before an ice cream run with Dr. King.
In the evening we had a last dinner with our host families. We all enjoyed catching up and sharing about our long trip. Our host families will always hold a special place in our hearts and memories of Brazil. After our goodbyes we headed back to Antonio’s for one last night. To celebrate our last night in Brazil we headed to Toca de Coruja, which has also become one of our favorite places. We all shared stories of our 6 weeks and how fast our time has gone. Brazil has treated us very well and we will all miss the people, food, and experiences we had.
There was an article in the newspaper featuring our service project!
