My Stay in Brazil - Kami

By Kameron Mclain - August 13, 2009

I could honestly say that this trip is the highlight of my yet young life. Even in the lowest moments, it was still amazing. Nothing could make my state of mind of the target; having the time of my life. And that's exactly what I did.

I bonded tightly with so many of the girls I wasn't close with before, and got closer with the ones I already knew. I was so happy with the group of girls I played with. We just happened to play well with each other on the court, and I had best friends off the court.

I havn't laughed as hard as I have on this trip that I could possibly remember. Every time I could remember, I always had a big smile on my face. I was constantly meeting new people and trying new foods, always loving every bit of it. But above all I think the favorite thing I have eaten was most definitely when our mom, Allison and I went to the market and got at least 3 pineapples on a stick, the most amazing fruit I've ever tasted in my life..no sarcasm I promise.

My mom and I talked about Brazil before I left, about how I would hands down love the community and atmosphere of Brazil. She definitely called it! Just like my madre for the trip said, "We aren't just acquaintances, we are family!" totally says everything.

I fell in love with Brazil, as I'm sure many of the girls did. The families were all so loving and open armed to us, and I know I definitely felt like family with all of them. Not only did I love just about everything to do with the people and food, but oh my dear, the views were unreal. I felt like I jumped right into a postcard. I already am looking forward to thinking about a next trip to Brazil. I will never in a million years forget brazil or anyone in it. Before a person dies, I highly recommend they spend their time in Brazil, its unforgettable and a one time chance of a lifetime..that i hope I can get a chance at a few more times. Signing out before I write a novel. chow (tchau)
