Hey Everyone,
We have made it to Brazil and there is already so much to tell you about. I had yet to meet anyone in the class before arriving in country, so it was great to fly in with Elijah and meet up with Cory at the airport. Elijah and I just happened to be seated next to each other so we had a chance to get to know each other after working in the same group all Summer for classwork. Our man Daniel with ISA tracked us down and got us on board the shuttle to the hotel. Our first glimpses of Brazil came from a drive to FLOPH (our hotel) where we quickly saw favelas and plenty of coastline. An orientation session that evening with ISA leaders Rodrigo and Ihor allowed everyone to get a feel for the next two weeks of life in Brazil and allowed me to make initial introductions with my new classmates. We closed out the evening of a long first day with dinner nearby the hotel. Filet mignon was a sufficient way to kick off two weeks of Brazilian cuisine.
Thanks for reading and be on the lookout for another blog update tomorrow,
Nick
