Hamburg - The Port

Hamburg is a port city. It's on the Elbe River. We went on a tour of the harbor on a boat. There are lots of different kinds of ships in the port. We saw container ships, a cruise ship and tug boats. We went right underneath the container ship. It was huge! We went through the canals and a lock.

The Hamburg Zoo

 

We went to the zoo in Hamburg today. We got to feed the elephants! We saw lots of different animals. We also played at the playground there.

Parque da Grutas

We saw a cave today. A long time ago, people lived in these caves. They didn't have lights or electricity. Then we saw monkeys. My favorite monkey was in the second cage we saw, he was orangey-brown. We saw baby turtles and a macaw!

School

We went to mom's old school today. It was closed, because it's summer vacation right now! School starts again in March. It was very different from school in Bolton. They have no lockdown practice and they only have 11 grades.

Santa Cruz

We went downtown today. We saw Alex, he is a dentist. It's a lot like the dentist in the United States. He has the same chair and tools. We walked by the Prefeitura, which is the town hall. The roads here are made with paralelepipidos, they're bricks for the road. Most of the roads in town are made with them. When they do construction, they take them out, fix things, and put the stones back in. Then we saw Carlinhos at the flower shop. He has a giant refrigerator full of flowers. Then, Carlinhos and his dog Bidu, went to the ice cream stand with us. I had uva (grape) and morango (strawberry) ice cream!

Churrasco

Brazilian people have a churrasco almost every weekend. They cook all different kinds of meat this way. It takes a long time to cook. They put big pieces of salt on the meat before they put it over the fire. They put the meat on a spit before putting it over the fire. Lots of Brazilians have a churrasqueria in their house. Some of them look like fireplaces.
