Belem dia nove

Today was Brasil's first World Cup game. The moment i woke up i could hear firecrackers, people outside cheering and yelling and the cars honking. The whole city had gone insane, but it was everything i wanted it to be.

During class Karissa presented the "Nature" chapter. It basically just talked about how people don't write about nature because it's boring and no one really cares for it.
After class, we went back to Manghal das Garcas because the other time we went the tower, where we can view the whole city, was closed. So this time we went up and it was amazing. The view was just perfect.



We then headed to the docas to eat lunch and watch the game at 3:30 Brasilian time.
This time we went to a tiny organic restaurant and i ordered this meal that said it had pesto and cheese so i thought it was going to be to die for. When my ordered arrive it was just a bunch of pesto with cheese and tomatoes on top. I was like what the heck?? So Raul offered to give me a bt of his pasta so that i can mix it in and then i ordered some bread. It was the worst plate i had ordered in my whole entire life. But I still ate some of it and tried to make the best of it. We then shopped around a few stores and i bought a really cute shirt that says made in Para and has two silly cartoon looking characters. It's actually very cute and silly.
We then headed downstairs to a restaurant where we sat down to watch the game on a big screen. The place was packed with people. The crowd was amazing.
Brasil won the game 2-1 against South Korea
