CARNAVAL!

Well, this past week was Carnaval, which means I haven't had to teach all week :D Poor Micah only got off Monday and Tuesday since he teaches at the American high school here. I was really excited about experiencing Carnaval here in Brazil for the first time. I know what some of you are thinking "Kristy don't you know Carnaval isn't for Christians..all the drinking, dancing, nudity, etc." But I figure if you live in Brazil you have to experience Carnaval at least once....all the excitement, celebration, bright colors, parades.... Well, in the end it didn't really work out to see Carnaval in person this year. Micah and I never figured out where they were holding the parades in our city. But we did watch part of the parades in Rio de Janeiro on tv. Brazilians definitely know how to throw a party! I hope next year Micah and I will be able to see at least one of the parades in person.
