Fun. If I could summarize my weekend in a few words, this would be the right one. We left Gadsden in the evening of the September 2nd to go to NYC. We drove all night long, crossed the states of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey so as to reach New York City. All was done so we could attend to one of the most important Brazilian Celebrations in the United States of America: Brazilian Day.
Wow, New York City is just the sweetest spots on the whole planet! It is huge to say the least, and to say the truth, if I had gone to the Big Apple only for the sake of seeing it, it would have been totally worth the trip. We visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Times Square and had a quick look at the Central Park. This was wild!
The concert itself took place on 48th Street, with the presence of great Brazilian artists, among which there were : Dj Malboro, Margarete Menezes, Zeze de Camargo e Luciano , Ana Maria Braga and Luciano Hulk. Dear readers, I so must confess I never thought that there were so many Brazilian people in NYC. The city was packed with people from my country, everywhere we went there were guys speaking Portuguese (I even commented with Brian that I felt like Sao Paulo instead of New York!)
All in all, my weekend was so cool that I have no words to say what I felt during my stay in NYC. Tomorrow I will start tutoring in the Alabama Language Institute and I hope everything goes well as I start teaching. Ate mais amigos e ate a proxima!!
