Lynne's Post

Firstly Clayton's foot is purple with sunburn. (oh and he asks that we refrain from teasing him about you know what...lol ya right)
Okay on to the real news. So Brazil is amazing as I thought it would be at the beginning of the semester. We could feel the humidity as we flew over the amazon and my hair became an instant ball of craziness as soon as we stepped off the plane. (it kind of feels like we're swimming all the time, there's so much water in the air).
So far we've made a lot of friends with the kids and I am starting to understand the language a little. It's been a little overwhelming being immersed but as long as we take time by ourselves every once and awhile its okay.
My favorite part of the trip so far would be my new friend Amanda. She's a 7 year old girl who thinks its just hilarious that I don't understand her. She likes to drag me around and is absolutely crazy on all levels. (if my family reads this, she's like Andrea when she was little).

Anyways I'm going to go down to the vbs now. Talk to you all later!
