Snow, snow, snow, snow....



Yesterday we had a big snow storm, and this snow you see on the pictures are a small part from what is left from yesterday.
We cleaned part of the car and left some inches of snow to see the difference. The table with the chairs were almost disappearing in the snow on the ground. Even with all that, it is o.k for me. I think this weather is great. I could live here much more than two months...

Drew`s surprise party





The last Sunday we made Drew, my host brother, a surprise party. We had a lot of work with our carreteiro and Vale with her Conchinita Pibil. In the end everything went ok. Everybody had fun and they told us they liked Brigadeiro and Careteiro...Well, I don`t know about Carreteiro...hahaha


Today was a different day for everybody here in Muncie. Today we had the third biggest snow storm known in all Indiana.
We got the car stuck in the snow and classes at school were mainly canceled. So we came back home at noon with Vale and Mac. Vale made a pudin and after that we watched a movie on TV. Our day is basically resumed to it.
By the way, the one in red is Mac and the girl is Valeria.

Washington DC- Dulles airport



These are some pictures that we took on our way to Washington DC. We were tired after spending the whole day in the airport (from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM)./// Fotos tiradas durante partida rumo a Washington. Estavamos cansados por ter passado o dia inteiro no aeroporto(8:00 as 23:00)






That was a busy day. We missed our flight on emigration line and all the flights after that were overbooked. We were confirmed on the 9:30 PM flight. Guess what? Another delay. We left Washington almost 12:30 AM.///Foi um dia cheio. Perdemos o voo na linha da imigracao e todos os voos seguintes estavam lotados. Fomos confirmados para o voo das 21:30. Outro atraso. Deixamos Washington quase 24:30.

Obama


Good night,
It is with a huge satisfaction that I can tell you how good it was to experience the inauguration of an American president, even more when it comes to Barack Obama. This man is dividing opinions but the fact is that changing or not something in the USA, Obama is now the new president of the history of the US, being the first black president from the USA.
I hope Barack can make a big difference for this country. We need that energy that the new president has been showing on television lately.
Lets wait for what comes.
And how told me Clarice:
GOD BLESS AMERICA
AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
