Attention, students of the world!

Quick update! I have spent the last week or so on the ship. My classes have a lot of reading to do, but they are going well. It was rainy for a few days which made life pretty boring. This week I have gone to a couple Portuguese lessons which was fun. At least now I can say hello and thank you and some other pretty random phrases. Sometimes I feel like we’re on a retirement cruise because we play cards ALL the time. We pretty much play games every night after dinner and then either lay out on the deck and talk or watch a movie. Last night, SAS played a radio program of the Super Bowl. (Dad and Grampy, I am guessing you freaked out haha)

Today I only had one class and just laid out on the deck reading. It’s hard to believe I’m at school right now. Everyone is getting really excited about Brazil. A ton of people are going to the Amazon or Rio. I’m staying in Salvador which I’m excited about. The first day we get there is Carnival (Fat Tuesday). Apparently it’s the biggest street party in the world so I’m guessing it’s going to be a good time!

Hope all is well!
