I just wanna post this here so maybe I can remember this day later. Today I went to Pelourinho, a tourist spot here in the city where I live. I went there with a group of friends who have English as a second language and these people also study the language at the same Language School I do. There were also three adults who were sort of taking care of us: my teacher from Nigeria, the tourist guide who's a British descendant and has also taught me English before, and a woman from New York who I got the chance to meet this morning. So, we arrived there around 10am, but we should be there since 9am. The thing is that we were just too lazy to request an Uber, then we just kept on talking instead of heading to the place where we should be. When we finally got there, we had breakfast because most of us couldn't eat before leaving home. After the little break, we took some pictures and the lady from New York, whose name's Mya, complimented my hair, which made me EXTREMELY happy. We started sightseeing in Pelourinho, walking up and down the slopes and taking a lot of pictures. To be honest, today was kinda cloudy in the morning, so I thought it was gonna rain and didn't wear any sunscreen, but it didn't rain at all. The wheather was really hot and many people were complaining about how hot it was today and how that made it harder for us to be walking up and down all the time. Especially because some people were wearing pants and t-shirts. However, we were still enjoying it. But anyway, it was a really good day and we met some foreigners on the way. It was really REALLY nice to learn more about my own city and culture while also being in touch with different cultures. I got to see a lot of Salvador today and actually play a tourist, which I imagine most people here don't usually do. And all the experience was in English, which made everything even greater 'cause I usually hear the language inside a classroom, so it was good to hear it outdoors for a change. Around 1pm, we all headed back home, while Mya and my teacher/tourist guide went to walk around a little more. So we said goodbye to them and headed back home completely tired and sweaty, but definitely happy for this day. Ps. I just wanna stress that this Mya lady is such a SWEETHEART! Even when she speaks, I just can't believe I met such a nice person today and we could see a bit of the city and take pics together. Plus, New York accent is quite appealing in a certain way. Wow. What a day.
Werk It!: Outdoor Summer Sculpt Classes with Angela!
Hi Warriors!
Summer has finally arrived! We the North (see what I did there) have been patiently (I use that word loosely) for sunshine and evening strolls. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and we begin to peel away the layers of clothing we've become accustomed to wearing ALL.WINTER.LONG. That cute romper I wore last summer has resurfaced. As I try it on, a deep, breathy gasp fills the room ..... it's snug! Oh hell no! The last time I laundered the romper it shrunk! That's my story and I'm sticking to it (insert smiley emoji here).
Truth be told, I've put on a few LBs over the winter and it's time to shed that unwanted winter poundage! My girl Angela Furfaro is sharing her knowledge, kick ass energy and endless stream of motivation with all of us. Beginning this THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2017, you can join her OUTDOOR SUMMER SCULPT CLASS!
