Em Makes the News!

We love any photo or tidbit of info that we get from the land of Brazil.  So this was a real treat!   She was interviewed a couple of weeks ago and her friend Lu sent me this link.  She told us she had a hard time understanding his English, that's why there are so many splices.  Some words don't translate straight across the line.  When he asked if she was ashamed she thinks he meant shy. We thought it was funny listening to the opening introduction.  It sound like he says, "Emily, an American, stuck in Brazil." The ending is awesome, too.  She tells us Brazilian TV is very interesting to say the least. She is definitely having an adventure.  We love her and her cute, spunky attitude.  She had her first Salsa lesson last night.  We are patiently awaiting a blog update.  She just spent 10 days visiting family two hours south of her home.  Her Brazilian brother and his wife just had a new baby daughter.  Her online time has been limited but she assures us that a new post will becoming shortly. Emily is doing well despite the barrier of not being able to communicate as well as she would like to.  She is understanding very well. Keep that smile on Em!  We love you and so admire your courageous attitude.  You inspire us! xo

Oh, you are in sooo much trouble. I did not give you permission to post this horrible video!

Emily said...

And I think he said "Está aqui no Brasil", which means "She is here in Brazil" :)
