What happened lately

It's been weird to try and stuff all the content of three weeks into a small post that I am trying to write out late at night even if I have class the next morning at 7am. This past January, I visited the motherland, Brasil, and visited my family including my sister who is doing vet school there. My cousin was getting married so the whole family was attempting to reunite after all these years . It has only been this year that I can truly appreciate how hard South Americans have it. Brazilians work day in and day out only to spend the majority of their hard earned money on single trips to the clothing store or super market. Prices Re so high down there it's ridiculous. But this fact didnt deter me at all. I missed my friends sure, but I was going to make the best of it. I arrived In brazil 24 hours after I arrived back in America after my trip to Canada to check out the Canadian university college. The time difference is rather significant. The majority of the first leg of the trip was us getting ready for the wedding. The second part was the family hanging out at the beach for a week /'d the last part was me seeing my grandfather for the last time. I might go into some details of specific stories later but for now I just want to post some pics that kind of over view my entire trip.
