Yes this is in Brazil. We went to a confederates festival and celebrated with the Brazilians their heritage of some confederate soldiers that came down here after the Civil War
This is just a picture that we took when we were driving down the road. How beautiful!
Isn't that right? Biscuits next to the Confederate flag.
This is the only anaconda I want to come in contact with.
P.S. The sign that is behind me sayd no climbing on the snake. (HA! HA!)

Hey Yall

Well it has been kind of boring around here that is why I have not updated in a while.
This weekend we have had a Holiday so we get an extra day off of school (yea me). Saturday we went to the park and saw some Capybaras and if you dont know what that is it is a giant rodant. It almost looks like a giant guinea pig (they are really ugly).

So this holiday that we have this weekend is named after a guy who planned a revolt seeking independence and there was a trader among the group who turned them in. The main man (Tiradentes - his name means teeth puller) got hung in the town square for all to see and his body was quartered and buried all over the state of Minas Gerais (the state right above Sao Paulo). Kind of gross.
Well like I said it has been really boring around here so I do not have much to say but I would really love it if you would email me. ( PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE email me).

I will update when there is more to talk about.

Love,

What I have been up to

Well let me start off by saying i am terribly sorry for not updating my blog in so long. The babies have been sick off and on I have had school and this week I started my homeschooling back. So needless to say it has been quite hectic around here.

School...
Well, school is getting better. I am starting to understand a little better and th kids are trying to talk to me more. I guess they are getting use to me being there or realize that I am learning more Portuguese. On Friday I wrote down all of the words that I recognized and it was about a page full. Now I could not tell you whaqt they were talking about but I could pick words up out of sentances that sounded like jibber-jabber. So it is a start.

We are adjusting well and the babies are getting better. They will sometimes run a low grade fever but other that that they seem to be getting better (we hope).

I guess I will tell you a little about the fun and quirky things that the Brazilians do.

I think I have written this before but they have bread stores EVERYWHERE. Some better that others but all good. A lot of people go to the Padarias for breakfast and snacks. They have some of the BEST things you have ever tasted. They have these things called coshinos (that is how it sounds not how it is spelled. I am not sure how to spell it.) it has either shreaded chicken or a hot dog in with mashed potatoes around it and it is fried. It is really good. They also have Pao de Quesio (translated: Cheese bread) That is my all time favorite thing ever.


Well I need to go now but I promise to update sooner. If you would like to contact me for any reason you can email me at cunninghamsinbrazil@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.

Love,
