Teresina may be the hottest city but it is also the friendliest.











I feel very lucky to have been placed in Teresina with Alex and Erica. Today we went to local places of interest. First we went to a restaurant that had the yummiest fish. It is located where the two Rivers in Teresina meet. We visited a house where they make clay figurines. It is a very hard process and takes several days. The girl who was showing us how they make it was so friendly.
 
After lunch, we went to the bridge that is over one of the two rivers. We took an elevator ride to the top where we could see the whole city. I didn't realize how big the city is. Alex's son taught me how to "give five" the Brazilian way. Then we spent some time with Alex's family at his cousin's son's first birthday. They were so friendly and we had a great conversation.
   At the end of the day I was able to talk with my family who all got together for Father's Day.

Thank you for your comment! In English there is the phrase we say when someone is nice. We say they are warm and friendly. I think Teresina is the hottest city in Brasil because it has the warmest and friendliest people!
