Calgary Update
Hello everyone,
I know I know.... It's been a long time since my last post in this blog. So, I 've decided to restart writing to you.
What have I been doing since last April 24th? Brazilian Party, Cassia's arrival, Hiking, Picnic, world cup, etc.
After a few months waiting away from her, Cassia took off on 11th of June and landed in Calgary for valentine's day. I was very excited! Bought some flowers and a few gifts and went to the airport to give her a big missing hug!!!
A week after we had the Brazilian culture night. That was a blast! Cassia brought so many things for this party, too many sweets, juices, cake, Polenta, Pop corn, Brigadeiro, Caipirinha, chimarrao, folders, balloons, music, ... It was awesome!!
Last weekend we had a picnic at Prince's Island Park during the afternoon. The weather has been awesome, very warm and beautiful!! Of course, before this weather two weeks ago, there was a lot of raining every day , and we even had hail! But crazy hail! I've never seen frozen rain as big as those ones!! Anyways, the picnic got together lots of people, and we played soccer, Frisbee, rack sack, ...enjoyed the weather...
On Sunday we went for hiking in Kananaskis. Hiking is awesome! We went up to the top of the mountain at 400m high. It was a long walk about 1h 25min. But when you get there it's amazing! The landscape is so beautiful!
Regarding world cup, it's been an interesting experience watching the games in another country! Well, as you can imagine, Canada isn't a soccer country, and most people don't care about it or even don't know that Brazil won five world cups in total! Actually to tell you the truth I had to explain some rules like how many minutes each half lasts, how it works, the points, how can you pass through the next round, ...Anyways, we've been watching some games at a Pub where Brazilians get together and in my case, sometimes, I have to watch in my work, in a little mini screen in my computer, at least I can see the game!! But something is very nice in here. In my circle of friends, we watched the game Brazil x Australia and my roommate is an AUSSIE. Then we got Ghana and my friend Olivia is from Ghana, fight fight fight, we beat them!!! And now we'll play France, and my friend Tim is a frenchie! So, it's so fun and crazy watching those matches with people from each country, true feelings, and intense emotions on it!!!
