Well, after three flights, Ezra, Will, and Magnus finally arrived in Recife, the capital of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco in northeast Brazil. Maya met us at the airport and we were all very pleased to see her. We soon found out that Brazil is very, very hot. We went to the beach but the sand burnt our feet and a big sign told us to not to swim because of frequent shark attacks! This was enough to put even Ezra off going in the water. Luckily the hotel had a pool, so we could cool off there.
The day after we arrived, we went to visit Carlos and Maria Luisa at their fruit farm just outside of Recife. Ezra and Willa spent the day picking fruit, including some kinds of fruit which we'd never seen before. Here's Ezra with a jack fruit bigger than his head:
We also found a pineapple:
Soon we'll be heading off to Lajedo in the interior of Pernambuco, our home for the next four months.
Just testing to see if this goes off to you
ReplyDeleteDear Ezzie,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to hear from you. The whole class was really excited to see your photos. We are going to learn about Brazil as our class topic this term. Maybe you could let us know what kind of animals you have seen and what kind of food you haue been eating.
Keep in touch,
Love Clas 1c
