Today i had the chance to sleep in. It was great. I intended on sleeping until 10:30 but I woke up at 11:30 with just enough time to get ready and get to the chuhasqueria. I ate so much red meat it wasn't funny. If you have never been to one I recomend it. The only one I know of is Texas de Brazil and I've never eatin it, but go now. Afterwards we went to the mall to go shoopping. I bought a speedo. I'm pretty excited. Afterwards we went to an old book store and I bought three old books in portugese for my book collection im trying to start. We headed to some street vendors but they were closing up so we just went back to my host families house from last year. Ben was feeling like crap the whole time when we got back from shopping he was running a 102 degree temperature so we left for the party and he left for the hospital. From what I know he is doing good. The Brazilians through us a party at the salooaehdffn(aojk). they food was from an arabian place... it was ok. we played some games shared some encouraging words and i got to tell the tale of "The Green Mountain Killer" it was hilarious. later we said our good byes and headed home. that really it. today was long but at the same time it wasnt packed. It was very nice. We are headed off to the beach tomorrow. Keep praying for us.
