I'm Back

Well, I'm back from Brazil, I was the last one to get home from group that left monday afternoon. I arrived last nite at 8:45 pm a mere 34 hours after we left Nova Prata. Never take American airlines, they're always delayed and they lose your luggage. As I was collecting my baggages from the carousel, I noticed that there was a lot of bags with a yellow ribbon on them (we all put a yellow ribbing on our bags so that we can identify them quickly) so I decided to check oout the name tags, and sure enough it belongs to my fellow likhettes, and there was at least 10 that I saw by the time I left. The thing was, I was the only one from likha that was on that flight. The rest of the group arrived a mere 5 hours earlier than me. So a word to the wise, never ever fly American Airlines, they are by far the worst and most unorganized airline in the U.S.

So the festival went well, as I'm sure my fellow bloggers have already started writing about it. There was a lot of performances that we had to do, but the people were so receptive and hospitable and that made it worthwhile. The cities that we performed in were, Nova Prata, Serrafina Correa, and Cotipura. Every town we went to we got treated like rock stars, I mean we had to go meet the mayor of the town, then we go on a small tour of the town, while getting fed every couple of hours (at least it seemed that way) and getting mobbed by children asking for autographs and trying to exchange brazillian coins for phillipine coins. I tell ya the experience was awesome and eventhough it was tiring, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else.

I'm still tired so I will make my list of memorable moments from the festival at another time.
