Winterlude - Ottawa

Rotary meeting!!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.. Always really excited. See all my exchange students again is awesome. Everytime is aways great have them around.
This time we went to Ottawa because there is a event happening that's called Winterlude, it is every year, the canal get frozen and you can go skating in the ice. Besides that there a lot of activities that you can do. Is really fun.
First we went to the ski museum and it was really fun. At least i enjoyed a lot because I do XC Ski at school, so was really neat see all the old skis and everything rellated with that. After the museum we went to skating in the canal, around 6,5 km long. Was good we spent 2 hours skating. I ate beaver tails in a lot of different flavors, was really good.
After we got the buss to go back to where we started. The guys was wanted to go see the parlament building, so we did that. We went there we saw everything inside. The neat part is the history of the Parlament, some years ago the building got in fire and the only place that wasn't burn was the libruary. Thats because one guy had closed the door, so he could save all books and everything. I think that is a really nice history.

Well after the parlament we went back to meet the Rotarians at one restaurant that has sinuca's table. We played some and ate a lots.

You should be wondering why am I writting in english and not in portuguese. And the answer is I dunno. Actually just because I feel writting english today. And i thing that will be good to when I go back to Brasil I can ready how horrible was my english some months before.

...
I miss home. And I keep thinking about Brazil more than a should. The weird thing is that I suppose to be fine here, this was my promisse to myself! Before came I swear that I won't thing about Brazil and I would live my life here and forget everything that I have done in my native country. But this is not working. I've been worst than I thout I'd be.
I already thought about go back a tousand times, but you know what? Was so hard to arrive here and make this became real, and I won't just give up like a stupid kid. My objective here is simple: Grow up. How much I can. And I'm sure that I'm doing a god job, I know that I was suppesed to do more, and maybe gat a opportunit to go a universit or something like that, but seriouly, I dunno if I want anymore. Sometimes I think that my place is there in Brazil. My family and friends, my culture. I miss that more than I tought I would.

Anyways, put in my head, keep going untill the end. If all ends are happy mine is gonna be too.
I just want to say thank you God for have given me this year to know myself and give me all this amazing experience in my life. I know someday I will miss this year so much and I will cry a lot. But i think this is just an other part of the whole thing!

So for today is just it. I will be back with pictures.
