Thursday, June 25, 2009: Day 43
I woke early this morning to tell half of the group hugs and to say ciao (good bye). They were headed to the Amazon to study acai (Amazonian fruit) and do field work. Rainy. It was our turn. As we waited for our bus we recieved our papers back and grades for our classes. I made A’s in both classes. 
Departure from Rio de Janeiro at 1035pm. Arrived time 130pm, next day. One of the first things our group found out when we arrived back in the states was the Michael Jackson had passed away, along with one of the actors who played in the original Charlie’s Angels- Farrah Fawcett. R.I.P
