Salvador is beautiful. As we are in our last week in Brazil, there was not better place to end our journey. Here I was able to taste, feel, see, smell the rich history of the country and its diversity. Brazil has a long history of slavery, Portuguese Imperialism, and even many Confederates moved to Brazil after the Civil War. It is a mosaic of color and global influence. It was dressed in its funnest finery for the festival of St. James. And, then it was time to go. Eighteen days. I've connected with teachers and as the year progresses we will connect our students in a variety of ways. We'll investigate a different culture through song and literature, we'll examine each other's perspectives, we'll communicate via the majic of internet, and perphaps students will act in some way that impacts the future of humanity and the planet.
