Well, it seems that all the team names ran together; their names are “Amazing” or “Way Better than Us.” The games were pretty much all the same too. We tried as hard as we could but the outcome never ended in our favor. Our standings weren’t good enough to play in the final day of the tournament but we watched the ending games. The whole team cheered for both Minas teams in the finals but they both, came in a close second.
Saturday night we had a movie night with a few girls and their sisters at the house. We watched “Remember Me” and grew closer and closer with the girls here which will make it harder and harder to leave.
The closing ceremony the next day wasn’t that amazing because we weren’t good enough to gather awards. We just clapped when everyone else did and cheered on the Minas girls. Our team recognized a girl from the eldest Minas team who could have possibly been one of the most amazing hitters we have seen in a long time. She wasn’t that tall or muscular, just the look on her face would make anyone run or seriously fear her.
Some of the girls went out to Eddies. Those were the first hamburgers we had had since the United States. We all agree that hamburgers are better in the US but Brazil has everything else on us. It was Taylor’s “Birthday” and it was new to them how it just happens to be our birthday so often when we go out to eat. It wasn’t the only new thing we have all learned since we have been here.
After lunch I’m sure everyone slept and would have probably kept sleeping if we weren’t trying to do everything in such a small amount of time. Some girls went to a movie, movies here are in English with Portuguese subtitles so when the actor or actress was about to say the funny punch line, the Brazilians new before us and would start laughing, a little awkward I might say but people here still love movie nights with popcorn and dates just like Americans in the US.
