http://travelsandothernews.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-4-thursday-july-7-2011.html

In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Thursday, July 7, 2011. Day 4 - Thursday, July 7, 2011. Rickshaw drivers - just like a 1930s Hollywood movie. Early the next morning we all met for breakfast and then headed out on our day of mega touring - Forbidden City, lunch in the Hutongs and a visit to the silk factory. The beginning was incredible, though, when you first enter. It's pretty overwhelming. Impressive and imposing Tiananmen Square. It's how they...

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Brasilia - 1960s futuristic city. I sought the curved and sensual line. The curve that I see in the Brazilian hills, in the body of a loved one, in the clouds in the sky and in the ocean waves.". Oscar Niemeyer, Brasilia architect. What can I say about Brasilia, city of contrasts? What was funny is that at one point we were in room where the Senate meets and we were only supposed to be in one area of the room. However, we didn’t...So, ano...

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Saturday, February 28, 2009. Buenos Aires - the land of Evita and tango. This along with the dog poop and uneven sidewalks truly made this city European with a Latin American twist:) But I still loved it! Especially the media lunas (half moon croissants) you could have in the mornings. They were like croissant from Paris but with sugar on top - yum! Here is sampling of photos from my time there. Viva Argentina! Having lunch with Maristela (Manaus) and Summer).

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Saturday, December 20, 2008. Tchau, tchau Londrina. This is a very belated message from my last month in Londrina, December 2008. One day I was ready to just punch her in the face, I don't know! I was picturing what my excuse would be to my students - that I was late to class because I was at the gym - this would definitely go over well in the U.S! I would like to say "Tchau, Londrina! I will miss this city and the marvelous people I met there very much! Elisa's...

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. Chucrute e Camarão (Sauerkraut and Bahian Shrimp) – what a combo! The buffets are killing me in Brazil - I want to try everything and then I end up with "It's a small world" on my plate! I also asked for the house wine, which I assumed was a dry wine, but it turned out to be incredibly sweet and more of a dessert wine, which was a disaster with what I was eating! Telma and Jussara at La Gondola. Ponta Grossa is Brazil in a nut shell wit...

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Oh, it's a long long while from May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September. Well, actually it's the opposite in Brazil, since we're heading towards summer, but still:) September, my favorite month of the year, went by so quickly! Birthday dinners in between travels:). This was the first time I had experienced anything like that in Brazil. I wish Sao Paulo could do the same! During the conference, I spent part...

News from Brazil, where the nuts are from. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Happy Halloween from São Paulo. On this Halloween night I am definitely missing pumpkins, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin candles, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie.:) and the overall smell of Fall. But somehow the hassle of flying and going to and from airports is usuallly compensated for by the trips themselves. In these cases it certainly was. The TESOL conference's theme was. Critical Teaching for Critical Times. At La Moneda, government palace.
