Brazil, Day 24: Last Day
January 13th, 2009 at 3:19 pm (traveling)
Thursday was my last day in Brazil. When I first had first arrived, my two suitcases were full of Christmas presents for everyone, and I hardly had any clothes!
So now when I was getting ready to leave, I packed up all my clothes in about 30 seconds, having one full suitcase completely empty afterwards. I thought I was done, until I went into the living room and saw them wrapping Christmas presents for me to deliver in the Estados Unidos… and the presents kept piling up, and piling up, until we had to rearrange all my clothes and fill the other suitcase to fit everything.
When finally everything was packed, we went to the grocery store and the mall to buy chocolate to make Brigadeiro, a mission at which we failed and ended up buying chocolate for immediate consumption (not to mention more Christmas presents).
In the evening, Iza’s godmother came over and we had a last dinner, before leaving for the airport at about 8:30pm for my midnight flight home.
As of Friday, I’m back in the United States after one amazing trip.
