beaches

Today i slept till about 10 o´clock and i feel nice and refreshed. I am glad i did not go out last night but i guess i missed some action. At the architecture party on campus some drunk guy apparently ran over two girls and then a bunch of boys ran after the guy, beat him up and ten rolled his car. The drunk guy was arrested and the two girls had to go to the hospital. On Sunday one of the girls died. Apparently this happens often. Yikes!!!! Anyways around 12 pm or friend Sergio picked up me, vince, matt and meg and he took us to Praia Brava which means "angry beach". It did not look so angry but i guess it is in the summer. I went swimming in the water an the current was pretty strong. It took me to the other side of the beach real quick. Sergio thought we were crazy because the water is cold but he is crazy cause it so is not. We then went to the restauant there and has shrimp and feijao which is bean soup. A very popular soup/drink here. I really like it. After Praia Brava Sergio took us to Praia Ingleses where many street dogs were following us and sleeping on our towels. They are called Vira lata and they are everywhere. The beach was cold and windy but that is expected since it is there winter. After that beach we went to Sambaqui where we watched the sunset and then we went to a restaurant where we watched the Mexico v. Argentina game and had dinner. We had fish and it looked crazy but tasted good. After we were fat and happy we went home to shower so we could be fresh and clena before we went to El Divinho to dance. Everyone here really likes techno which i am not the biggest fan but it is ok. After the discotecca it was like 5 in the morning and we needed BOBs and apparently that is where everyone goes. We had burgurs and fries and then went back to our hotel to pass out. Long day but really really fun.
