Northeast Trip part 1

I just got back from a trip of the Northeast of Brazil for 20 days, and I'm going to write about it in installments, because I just don't have enough of an attention span to do it all at once. Vamos comencar.

 Our first hotel, in Belo Horizonte, where we stayed 2 nights (I think)
We didn't really do anything here, just meeting the other exchange students, medical tests, and just free days at the hotel with an amazing pool. We went to our orientation for 5 hours, and we also had funk dance and another traditional dance class.
Our first day on the bus! 
We went from Belo Horizonte to Lencois, Bahia. In Lencois, we went snorkeling and ziplining (I only did snorkeling). We went to a cave as well, with lots and lots of walking, which was really nice.

Ziplining

 Lapa Doce

We also went to Chapada Diamantina, which is like Brazil's Grand Canyon. It was incredibly windy, but such an amazing view, and a very beautiful place.
 Our 5 Star Hotel!
We went to a natural waterslide, which most people complained hurt to go down, but it didn't hurt me at all. Some girl's shorts ripped, as well, but I just didn't have these problems. :) It was really fun, and a really nice trip.

 We also had a presentation of capoeira, a traditional Brazilian martial art.
