Mercedes in Brazil, March Update

March has been a busy month for our Mercedes Jones. She reports that her classes at Universidade Federal de Goiás started only a few weeks ago, but her days before that have been filled with travel and intensive language tutoring. Pictured below is Camilla (Mercedes' Portuguese tutor,) with Mercedes.


































With the start of classes, Mercedes has moved in with a local family. Here's a photo of her host father at a cheese stand. The stand belonged to one of many vendors at a Sunday vegetable fair in Goiânia. Stay tuned for more photos and news from Mercedes in the coming weeks!
