It is still unbelievable we are going to Rio in about only sixteen hours more…yesterday at this moment I were struggling with packing my baggage. We will go to such a far place and it`s always hard time for me to deciding what I want to pick/leave. Now I`m sitting at the airport in Atlanta. Can `t wait to say hello to Rio! As these days in Columbus the weather is finally getting warm which makes me very happy all after a long and tough winter, I believe in Rio I will definitely get much more pleasure. Isn`t exciting? I have never been to South America and I hope this would be a unforgettable and precious memory in my later life. I will experience the different culture as much as I can, through my eyes and my sketchbook. And when I get back to Columbus I will have a bunch of stories and events that I want to talk to my friends; every time when I`m thinking about this, my excitement get much and much higher…! I just can`t wait learning some Brazilian folk songs and eating lots of delicious South American food. Hopefully everybody can get the great experience and we will make the best program: )
