Day 4.
Today was another amazing day in Brazil. Many more pictures were taken all with memories that will last a lifetime. We started the day by welcoming Behrend's womens soccer team. They looked tired from there travels but both eager and excited to explore Brazil. We took a group picture with them by the pool , and then we departed to our second camp of the week. The camp today was just as exciting as the previous one. It was so fun teaching the kids basketball skills. They loved us and made us feel like celebrities!  We signed many more autographs and took many more pictures. After that, we had our second game of the week. It was a hard fought battle but unfortunately we came up short within the final minutes. The final score was 72-69. The style of the game was completely different than the first because it was very aggressive and physical. The atmosphere in the gym was unreal! We had everyone from Brazil cheering us on against their own country! It was crazy. We couldn't even hear ourselves think. After the game, we were told we were going to eat at local mall. We could not contain our excitement to eat some good ole' Micky D's. We then departed for our four hour trip to the city of Paraty. All in all it was a fun filled day filled with many new experiences!
