Final day of classroom class- Shannon’s Birthday!

In the day we had our last class with Dr. Caron!  Great guy who loves Brazilian culture and history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a great time celebrating Shannon’s birthday!  Dr. Peres hosted a pool party with a grill master!  We each took meat we purchased at the grocery store and a “grill chef” cooked it to perfection!  The home, the company, the weather and the food could not have been better!  We capped it off with a cake and big Happy Birthday to Shannon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shannon had a great time at her homestay and her little sister, Izabella (15) and she are “spirit animals”.  They are uncannily similar and love the same things.  She was walking by the hotel with her mother as we were waiting for our rides to the party.  They were so happy to see each other, there was literally running and squealing involved.  When we said that Izy could come along, there was more squealing and she took off running home to change faster than I have seen any Brazilian move.  It was very sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the pool party, Blake’s family invited us to their family pub to celebrate as well.  After a few karaoke songs and other fun hyjinks, we sang a louder version of “happy birthday” in Portuguese.  Happy Birthday Shannon!
