Well, it's been a few days since our Brazil Delegation checked in with us and now we know it's because they have been busy making presentations on life in Texas, zipping through the rain forest, touring cacao farms, playing with children at an Ursuline-sponsored day care center, eating freshly-made chocolate, chasing monkeys, studying sea creatures (particularly crabs), dancing at birthday parties, sailing to near-by islands, practicing Portuguese phrases, trekking through the jungle, cooling off in waterfalls and, of course, being honored guests at the end-of-year school celebration and research project presentation which, I hear, involved a dramatic ending featuring a faculty "chicken dance". WOW, we're so sorry they've had nothing to do in Brazil ("NOT", as the kids say).Ms. Chinuntdet has graciously passed along these images of the adventurous group from the afternoon when they were zipping through the rain forest. That is, in fact, a photo of Ms. Chinundet, our fearless delegation leader, zipping along the tropics of Brazil - "good times" indeed!
We are thrilled to report that despite a few health challenges in the first days (2 stomach viruses w/ fever, 1 sinus infection, 1 severe sunburn, 1 case of excessive bug bites and 1 sore throat), everyone seems to be in excellent health and spirits now (parents, if you haven't heard from me, your daughter has escaped these issues, no worries).
We can't wait to hear what additional adventures the last days in Brazil will bring!
Aww, this makes me miss Chile, but it looks like everyone is having fun! I hope everyone feels better and enjoys the rest of their trip!
