Sergio's Samba through Brazil: Down on the Farm
http://sergiossamba.blogspot.com/2015/05/down-on-farm.html
18 May, 2015. Down on the Farm. As part of an interdisciplinary field trip, the 9th grade class took a day trip to a historic coffee plantation about an hour from Campinas, known as Fazenda Ibicaba.

Class of 2018 in front of th...

Sergio's Samba through Brazil: Looking Back
http://sergiossamba.blogspot.com/2015/06/looking-back.html
19 June, 2015. Brazil has a fascinating history of European settlers from a variety of nations attempting to lay claim to a part of the new world. Thanks mostly to the Dutch and Portuguese, there are a number of colonial towns still in a good condition along Brazil's coastlines as well as inland due to early mining and agriculture. I've had the pleasure of visiting Paraty. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, Olinda. In the state of Pernambuco, and Ouro Preto. The picturesque town of Paraty. One of my favorit...

Sergio's Samba through Brazil: A Walk in the Park
http://sergiossamba.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-walk-in-park.html
21 April, 2015. A Walk in the Park. A short drive south of Belo Horizonte, outside of the tiny, unimpressive town of Brumadinho, lies a sprawling garden of art known as Inhotim. Within this expanse of botanical beauty and contemporary art one can easily pass several days exploring the 3000 acres set aside by mining magnate, Bernardo Paz, to both protect the area around his farmhouse and collect larger-than-life modern art pieces. This bronze work, without title, is by Brazilian artist Edgard de Souza.

Sergio's Samba through Brazil: Goals: The List
http://sergiossamba.blogspot.com/p/goals-list.html
Life in Brazil.what do I want to get out of it? It is my hope that this list will grow and shrink as I learn more about this country and cross things off the list! Dance samba - I have gone to samba clubs a couple times, need to make more effort to truly learn and not just slip into salsa. Make a delicious caipirinha myself - As delicious as these are, I try to avoid them for the instant rassaca. They give me so this goal is not one I'm motivated to achieve.we'll see. Also, yes. So.pending. Find a new job.
