My last week in Brazil

Filed under: Brazil General - November 21st, 2004

Ubatuba Beach in Brazil is where I was exactly one week ago. I spent the last week of my vacation at this beach. Now, being back home surrounded by snow just makes me realize how lucky I would be if I were still there in that warm summer weather. I was visiting Brazil for 2 months and I can say that this trip was unforgettable especially that last week which was perfect

One great thing that will make my family happy is that I did almost all of my Christmas shopping in Brazil. There were many shops, and markets all over that allowed me to get very unique and creative gifts that I can be pretty sure nobody else will have!

Overall, Brazil has been my most amazing adventure. I am looking forward to the day that I get to go back and experience many more great experiences. Next time I will have to buy a surf-board and live on the beach for months.

As many of us know, Brazil is known for its amazing soccer players. Brazil has been the home to many of the greatest names of the game, such as: Ronaldo, Pele, Adriano, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Dida, Zico and many more. All of these players are now playing around the world, but started out playing for teams around Brazil.

Soccer, also known as futebol in Brazil is their national sport. In Brazil you will see fields everywhere with young kids playing whenever they get a chance. Many of the famous players we know of today started out by playing on these small fields throughout the country.

During my visit to Brazil I was able to watch an amazing soccer match between 2 great teams. I was able to see my favorite player Robinho play a great game. Many of the games in Brazil get an extremely large number of fans that absoloutely love the game. If you plan on going to Brazil, I would definitely recommend getting tickets to a game. The way the stadium fills up with the energy of the crowd, it is just an amazing and unforgettable experience.
