Tomorrow i am off to another adventure in Bahia, we are going to this place called Cachoiera, which means waterfall in Portuguese, but yet this town has no waterfall... so oh well, i guess we will see how this goes. But we are all going to be together so that will be good and it will be a wonderful time to take some more pictures, which everyone in the groups knows all to well that i love to do way to much.
The election happened this Tuesday in the USA and a lot of people here in Brazil in the program were mad with the outcome of the GOP winning the House back and the majority of governors. But i was happy, because i am a republican, and although 94% of my friends and colleges here are not, and are liberal, i wont change my mind or what i think, we just wont talk about politics, it would only end badly. Even if i don't look like a "republican", what ever that might mean. We are all so young anyways to fully comprehend and understand everything because we do not live on our own yet and we still don''t have our lives put together yet, only college students.
Today was a weird week at school because we didn't have class on Tuesday and almost nobody even went on Monday so we only watched a movie, but we had class all Wednesday and Thursday so i feel like our weekend was cut a little short because we are going on this trip and i have only had one beach day. But a lot of us went out to this bar called, "Whats Up?", yea i know what your thinking, and yes it is really called that. Although the name was very lame and makes you laugh, it was a fun place and it was open bar and only 15 rieas for girls, but it was kinda far, so that was the down side. A lot of my friends got pretty wasted, which for me it quite entertaining to watch, no matter how much they don't remember.
So today i went to the fair today in Salvador where they had booths for different kinds of food from Italy, Spain, Germany, Bahia (Brazil), Arabia, the Orient, and the United States. It was kind of funny because i was so excited to get a milkshake, but at "The United States of America" booth they didn't have them yet, only on Saturday. I hate that about Brazil, the menus are never what they actually have on the menu, so i stopped looking and i just asked what they had instead. So i got a brownie, which was quite good, so i got a little bit happier after my dreams were crushed from the lack of ability of milkshakes. I think they were a little confused on what American food was as well because they have enchiladas and quesadillas on the menu... which last time i checked is Mexico, and it also made me laugh a little bit that the food from the "USA" booth were packaged in McDonald's bags. I finally decided to eat some Spanish food, which was very good, i think it had a lot to do with the fact that the people working in that booth were from Spain, which confused me at first because i thought there Portuguese was so clear and then i realized they were speaking Spanish, good job Jessica. The next little issue that was laughable was that they had "The Orient" like Oriental food right? No its only Japanese food here, i think if you are Asian or anything Asia, it is considered Japanese, so the Japanese flag, yakisoba, tamaki, and sushi was representing the Orient over there.
Oh and now i have reached my goal of having equal amounts of bottoms and tops of bathing suits here. 15 baby :)
