Belem dia onze

For the first time this week Tracy and I woke up on time! Yeii for us! We decided to walk to school today because it's only 3 blocks away and because Tracy and Steph needed to take some pictures for their article. We arrived to school and had a longer than usual lesson. We talked about writing in different styles and finding your voice as a journalist. We then headed over to the Botanical Garden called "Jardim zoobotanico da Amazonia."

It was really big and also very muddy. There were a few animals like monkeys and turtles but there was mostly lots of plants and trees. We also found a cave-like place with a small but beautiful waterfall.

We were there for maybe 2 hours and then we headed to the shopping mall to grab some food. The food was amazing like always and in most places it's buffet style and they weight it. My total is always about 20 reias which is about 10 dollars. After my meal, i ordered ice cream or sorvete from Cairu, which is like their Baskin Robins. All the flavors are amazing and they taste fresh so far i've has morango, which is strawberry, floco, which is vanilla and chocolate chip, menta, which is mint, Casta de Para, which is only sold here in Belem and it has nuts it's really good, Tapioca and Acai, which is my least favorite and today i tried cookie, which is like cookies and cream but the vanilla is just amazing here and so are the cookie chunks. From there everyone headed to the hotel but me and Steph went to Museu do Indio do Para. We took a cab to Ver-o-peso, which is where they sell fish because the museum is right next to it and we didn't know the museums name.

The museum is so interesting and i needed pictures for my article. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery but Steph let me borrow her camera to take pictures.

After i finished my task, we went next door to a market place where they sell a lot of food, shoes, arts and crafts and clothes. Steph bought a Brasil jersey for her father. We then took a taxi back to the hotel. Tonight we are headed to dinner and to either a club or a lounge with Isabella, Lucas and friends. We are almost leaving and we still need some more dancing to do!

I will post pictures of tonight in tomorrows blog so stay tune!

Boa tarde!
