Last night at midnight, I was awoken by pounding on my door. I did not want to open it, so I answered be saying "hello". The male outside went on to speak and I did not understand anything he was saying. He continued to knock on the door and speak. If I would have understood what he was saying, I could have avoided feeling afraid. I could not call down to the front desk because there is no phone in the room but even if there was, I can not speak in Portuguese so it would not be helpful. Luckily, the teacher I am traveling with miraculously heard my Skype request and came down to my room. The man had left by the time she arrived. I have my fingers crossed that tonight is a "quiet" night.
Today we went shopping in the market in Brasilia and then celebrated with Adriana's niece for her sixth birthday. I have never seen a birthday party as wonderful as this. The party decorations were beautiful and there were fun games for the kids. I was surely not expecting a party this extravagant.
