Brazil

Maintaining sanity this summer with our quarantine “travel adventure.” The planner in me enjoys having a project to focus on and get excited about. This week we learned about Brazil. It was an extra treat to have our neighbor Ana, who is Brazilian, come teach about folklore and show us indigenous artwork.
