Oi! Meu nome e Courtney! I’m a rising senior biology/ pre-med major with a chemistry minor from the one and only Howard University, The Mecca! This is week two in Floripa and we are finally getting settled in at work and starting to venture out. This week was full of exciting moments such as the start of the first experiment and visiting one of the lakes on Floripa. These are some of the highlights of this week.
Carol (far right) and my mentor, Becha, (Bottom left) threw us a party in honor of Festa Junia and the start of our experiment. We tried a lot of candy and sweet typical to June fest. My favorite was Pingo de Leite, a heavenly doice de leite candy. I highly recommend. We were joined by undergraduate lab assistants Daniela (top left) and Victor ( second from top left).
We are overlooking an amazing view of Logoa de Conceicao.
Brianne’s Mentor, Riso, took us to a market at Logoa de Conceicao. A place filled with chill and free-spirited vibes. Now that she taught us how to use the bus that’s going to be my go to place on the weekends. On the way back we stopped by a local outlook of the lake and took a picture in front of the “Sou Bem Floripa” sign meaning “We are for Floripa” according to Riso. In this picture is Brianne (Right), Theresa (middle), and myself (Left).
During Lunch at Logoa de Conceicao, Riso took us to grab coffee at this super hipster coffee shop called Cafe Cultura. We all got cappuccinos Brasilerio and some breakfast dishes. Starbucks has nothing on Brazilian cappuccinos. In this photo we have Riso (back left), Theresa (back right), Brianne (front left), and myself (front right).
