Not All Bad In Belo

Ok, lots of heavy blogs, so here is one not so heavy and some great stuff going on!!!

I have started taking Portuguese lessons! They speak Portuguese is Mozambique too, so once we got over the first basic lesson, it has been really fun to learn! I always wanted to learn a new language, but am not very natural at it! I also got a Portuguese-English Bible, some music, and of course, there are lots of people to practice with. I am now stringing short sentences together!!! Wow, you and me Becca, we got a lot in common! Lots of exclamation marks = excitement!!!!

So, food wise, Brazilians love beans and rice and eat both with lunch and dinner every single day. Literally, if for some crazy reason one of these is missing from a meal, they complain. Besides this, they also love sugar! They dump so much sugar in the coffee and tea here. There are ice-cream shops on every street. One really good treat they have here is Acai, which is a fruit from the Amazon region blended with ice and topped with banana and granola. It is supposed to be really healthy for you. They also drink Guarana soda which kind of tastes like Canada Dry with a little cherry in it. It's good though!

So, its not all bad in Belo, just intense most of the time.
