4 Days of Blogs in a Row!!!

This is from our trip to São Luis in June...one of the streets in the very old part of the city. I absolutely love the architecture...and look at how big those steps are!
Today was actually really fun and really busy. The last day of classes until August, so all of the students were writing tests and whatnot.
It's Andréa's 27th birthday, so many of her students brought little cakes and "doces"(sweets) to have a little party. I know that she liked it.
This morning was slow and kind of dull, but this afternoon was really good. Andreia(secretary) asked me to type some dialogues up for her, just thinking that I would be able to help her. Well, she ended up wanting me to do all of them, because I type really fast. So, I was happy to do that most of the afternoon(I absolutely LOVE to type-I would type out anything you ask me to) I also got to read for two classes their listening portions of the tests. Andréa had to sit with another student because he takes lessons privately, so I was able to sit with her class and help them with questions...ya, that was interesting. They wanted me to explain some of the grammar and stuff. (A little I could help, but mostly I sent them to ask Cristina, because she knows so much more than I do)
All in all, I got to type, read oral tests, and help Andréa put in the numbers for the final marks of her classes...AWESOME!!! It was a really good fulfilling day.
BUT my goodness it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cold here, and I do not exaggerate. It's one of those days in Canada, where it's cold enought to expect to come into a warm house, but unfortunately this is not a warm house!
But we'll be fine.
I will go now, hope everyone has a great evening and take care!
Love, Ash:)

Hey girl ,

You are becoming quite the prolific writer and we do enjoy hearing from you daily!
Loved your picture as well.
I am sure it was a very interesting place to visit,
It sounds like you really did have a very interesting day, as you were able to use your typing skills and also help in the other ways.
Wish Andréa a happy birthday from Canada!
It rained heavily again here to day , off and on,. We took the car in while Pops had all the seats out and had them vacuum and clean the inside We did a bit more cleaning when we got home and it looks and smells pretty good now.
Hope you took a few warm clothes with you for these chillier days.
What will you be doing now that school is out?
Is it finished at Vos Livre too?
Bye for now.
Hope tomorrow goes as well for you as to-day. Lots of luv Nan xoxoxoxo
