Bus strikes. On one side we could view them as the movement of the normal man to combat the inequality of the wage wars in Brazil or we could see the actions of a few paralyzing an entire city. Either way, it's terribly painful to have to completely re-plan your entire life. After making our way to class thanks to a ride from Bishop Jones, we watched part of a Brasilian movie called Behind the Sun that is a wonderful movie set in the Sertão Brasiliero. Imagine the American West, have even less water and add a family feud like the one in Huckleberry Finn and finally add some amazing cinematography and you'll find a film that helps you feel Brazil in 1910. More on that when we finish the movie.
With no buses available and with constant rain we were not able to really go anywhere so we headed home early. A group of us met up to watch the Spain/Portugal game (such a great game, shame that Portugal couldn't get the ball in with the chances they had) and then I helped make cut chocolate bars for chocolate chips for some cookies that we made for a party tomorrow.
That's about it today!
