My last week of work was wonderful. The students were so sweet and gave me so many sweets, cards, flowers, balloons and gifts. The youngest students threw a surprise party, the next level surprised me with sweets, flowers and cards and the older levels bought my a bracelet with the town name and school year engraved. My private lessons also gave me gifts and so many hugs. It was an incredible feeling to finish my first year working in a school. Any doubts that I ever may have had about selecting education as my career is gone. Even the difficult moments don't seem so difficult, and I wouldn't change any of it for anything. I am looking forward to many more years of teaching.

This past weekend I went with Becca to the Cidade da Cultura to see an exhibition about lost tribes of the Amazon. It was our first time going to the Cidade da Cultura, an impressive conglomerate of buildings with museums, libraries, archives, etc. on the hill looking over the city.

This slope is much steeper than it looks.
Some culture is just awkward...this had nothing to do with the Amazon
