Hannah and Jackson traveled "in loco" with Graded School this past week. Jackson went to Recife and Hannah visited Bahia. It is so cool that their school does this every Fall and allows the students to explore different parts of Brazil. Mostly, I think it gives the kids a chance to grow as independent, curious young adults. Both did native drumming, made crafts, danced, talked to locals in their best Portuguese and did a lot of "hanging" with their classmates. Oh yea, they got to swim in the ocean too. Hannah's video (she's near the front on the far right banging a drum) is from Oldum. It was made famous when Michael Jackson shot a video in the streets there in the mid '90s.
This week was also a good test for Ro and I to see if we'll be able to handle being "empty nesters" in a few years. We're still married so I think all is good.
