Bom dia! I was woken by Amber this morning in my hammock at 430am to go see the sun rise. Amber, Randy, Sara and I walked back to the same sand dune that we saw the sun set the previous day. The town was still silent this early in the morning and the air was [...]
I awoke at Rosalie and Sara’s homestay home. Rosalie or Sara called a taxi and then we headed toward the meeting spot (near McDonalds) to catch the bus to Jericoacoara. The bus ride was about 6 hours and we took a few breaks to stretch, get snacks and use the restrooms. There was a toilet [...]
I grabbed a banana on the way out to school. We took a bus (#13) and walked a bit. Class as usaul was from 9-1pm. After class my roommate and I walked home and stopped by a super market where I purchased some fried foods for lunch. When we arrived home we found a meal [...]
We had class 9-1pm. We walked to the mall and had lunch at the food court. Then part of the class went with Dr. Pace downtown to a old jail that has now been turned into a market and part museum. We walked a while between buildings with shops set up everywhere selling almost everything. [...]

We took the wrong bus and hopped on another. We arrived at the school and we all boarded the bus and headed to another beach. The ride was about an hour. We rode in dune buggies, these small vehicles, on the sand dunes. The scenery was amazing. We went sand boarding down a long sand [...]

We had 2 hours of our anthropology class first. The first hour everyone from the intermediate class even joined us. At 11am we then went to eat [...]
Class, 9-1pm. We went to American du Sol (sun), a beach. We soaked up the sun, kicked around a ball, played a bit of fun volleyball, dipped into the ocean, and enjoyed ourselves. I spoke with a Brazilian mother at the beach and she befriended me. I ended up meeting her brother’s wife, her three [...]
Class, 9-1pm. We took our anthropology test today. Everyone was writing for a while. We had to write two essay answers after picking 2 or 3 questions we wanted to answer. After class four of us decided to go the the beach and relax since it was such a beautiful sunny day. That evening Natalie [...]
Class, 9-1pm. We were released from class early in anthropology because Dr. Pace had to go pick up his wife, Olga, from the airport. It was overcast and rainy so no one decided to go to the beach. I studied for our second test in anthropology. I fell asleep studying, woke back up and studied [...]
