Well today was something else!! It's interesting that when we get out of the house late in the morning to catch the bus, we actually get to ABA even quicker!
Also, I'm noticing that as time goes on with the trip, people seem to be taking less and less pictures, but I'm sure that my beautiful face will still show up here and there. :)
This photo was NOT taken today but it's still kinda cool....not that a photo's "coolness" should be judged by its age. |
I didn't realize the influence of the Jesuits was so strong here in Brazil! No wonder they have so many days off from school, with all these saints to commemorate! What was interesting to learn about it how some of the Jesuits really cared for the native Indians in Brazil! We all know about the Inquisition and some of their brutal acts realized against people they deemed as "pagans", but we don't know a lot about the positive effects of it.... I don't know that many either, but one thing I learned was that the Inquisition helped to end "Antropofagia" , or cannibalistic practices still used by some of the newly converted natives.
After class, we went to the CCJ and met up with Carbonel. At the end of this week we're gonna get to dance more forro!!! I'm pretty much the master of the dance "dois pra la, dois pra ca"(two steps here, two steps there). Anything other than this I'm a little hazy on.
This is a more current picture of me and the group in front of the CCJ. Don't recognize me? I'm the handsome, tan one with a blue shirt squatting in the front row.... |
