* I went to a Brasilian Farm on Saturday afternoon.. OMG it was soooo sooo soo beautiful.. Tropical plants EVERYWHERE.. and Rolling Hills.. palm trees as far as the eye could see..
I took TONS of pictures.. I even got a few Brasilian Cows. . haha. They have this weird kind of chicken from Africa.. it looks like an over-grown Quail.. I didnt get any pictures cause they were too fast.. but maybe next time!! PS i will sooooon have a way to put pics on the net.. just be patient with me!!!!!!!
-
* When I got back from the farm.. One of those naughty little gecko lizard thingys was hanging out on the living room wall.. I captured it with my sweater and tried to let it go outside.. but as soon as i took my fingers off of it.. it wouldnt get off of me!! It was so funny.. the girls (mila & cora) freaked out cause they thought it was gross, but it was sooo cool. Eventually after tossing it around abit and almost putting the stupid thing in a coma .. it jumped off of me and ran up a tree.. haha.

-
* Neto just told me this really sad story about a German exchange student in Brasil that was in the airport to go home when she was caught with drugs.. I dont know what kind, but she ended up being sentenced to 4 years in the São Paulo State Prision.. I cant even imagine what shes going through right now.. Being away from your family in the exchange program for a year is hard enough, but to stay in prision for 4 years missing so many things... Birthdays.. Graduation.. LIFE in general.. it makes me soo sad!! I just can't believe it..
