I'M FAMOUS!!! Well not really!


"Sight Seeing and Bunda Skiing" (Ep. 3) from Annie Pace on Vimeo.


"Peace, Love, and lots of Sand..." (Ep.4) from Annie Pace on Vimeo.

Here are more videos from my Study abroad in Brasil... These videos show various places Fortaleza, Morro Branco, Rio De janeiro, Jericoacoara... I can not begin to tell you how pleasant the memories are from this experience... The right word to describe the feeling in Portuguese is "Saudade". Saudade means to have longing for something or something.. In other words, Its like saying I miss this, you, that, etc... To say I miss you in Portuguese I would say...."Estou com saudades pra voce" or "I miss you".

None of this would have been possible without the Gilman Scholarship.
Just type in http://www.iie.org/en/Programs/Gilman-Scholarship-Program
You will not regret it... I certainly don't..... Boa Noche.. tchau

Brasil through the lens of one of my fellow study "abroad-ers"


Brazil Through My Lens (Ep. 1) from Annie Pace on Vimeo.

This video was done by one of the students on my study abroad trip to Brasil. She catalogs our whole trip through the lens of her camera.. Brasil was truly a place I WILL NEVER forget. It's good to have videos like this to look back at and reminisce. This video is in a series of 4 videos.. This is the introduction I will post the others very soon..

OAN: I hope all you potential study "Abroad-ers" have been abreast on your deadlines and requirements.. Its a tedious process but it's soooooooooooooo worth it. Ate manha... TCHAU!!!!
