My First Blogg EntryWhen we first got our Passports I thought that mine looked really differnt than my Moms. Her Passport looks older and is more worn, but mine was new and a hard smallish booklet. Everyones is a small bookelt, but mine just looked crisp. After we got the passports, we had to sign our names on the inside covers. This was not easy for me because I do not like to write in cursive. Then almost as soon as we got the passports, we sent them back, well we sent them to the Brazillian Consolate to get our Visas. I thought my mom had sent them all the way to Brazil, but she sent them to an embassy in Washington DC. An Embassy is a building or location occupied by another government on our soil. My Visa from Brazil is a big sticker in my passport but it looks to me like it has just been taped on. The passport itself has a lot of really neat pictures in it. One of Mt. Rushmore, The Moon and even the Statue of Liberty. We got our Passports so everyone knows we are Americans. The Visa is just like a subway token, so the country you are visiting can tell you are for sure allowed in.
I am really excited to go to a diffent place that is not the United States. Portuguese has been kinda difficult to learn, but I have been practicing a lot. My mom makes sure I study at least 1 hour a day.
