Carnaval in Eugene-Oregon

Before celebrating Carnaval, I taught my students a lesson on Escolas de Samba in Rio de Janeiro.

Carnaval in Eugene included bossa-nova, forro, axe and samba.The integration of Brazilians,Americans and Asians was noticeable.

Carnaval!!!!!

Hi, guys;

Hope you're all full of energy to start a new semester.
I've been working/studying hard since January 9.
Next Saturday we will celebrate Carnaval at a pizza place where a group named "Samba Ja" will perform a bateria de uma escola de samba. All the Portuguese students will be invited, and I'm going to wear my Mangueira t-shirt. I will send you the photos,ok?

FELIZ CARNAVAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
