Wow! Brazilians know how to party!
I am happy to report today's dress rehearsal went very well. We started according to Brazilian Time; 20 minutes late. I try to be very punctual, so it was a bit rough for me to endure beginning after I wanted to. Howver, the kids were remarkably well behaved. Especially considering they had never done something like this before. To give them this first opportunity at performing in a concert is truly an honor.
The band you ask? I think songs sounded just fine today. I do wish they would play shorter interlude pieces, but c'est la vie. Everything turned out very well and I am so excited for everyone!
After the rehearsal, we went to Mareeza's for a wonderful party. They sang goodbye songs to us and I cried like a little girl! I am going to miss these people, my friends, so much. We danced almost the whole evening! Despite my best efforts to avoid Skol, Aunt Racquel kept putting a bottle in front of me...Sue eventually took my glass away...There was, of course, lots of picture taking involved. I will have to post those tomorrow. Other highlights of my night included singing with Father Joe and speaking my fake Portugese.
It's such a weird feeling; I am completely homesick and yet do not want to leave. Talk about mixed emotions!
Love to all! Good night!
Jamie
