In Belem, we stayed at a hotel where another family from Rio was also staying. And as kids often do, Ella and another girl found each other and became playmates during the stay at this hotel. But despite the vast difference in communication and culture, they quickly found one common denominator (I am a homeschooling mom so I have math on the brain). What is the universal language for 9 year olds? In this case it was High School Musical 2. This girl had the movie (in Portuguese) that Ella had not seen yet but was eagerly anticipating. Ella was amazed and the girl was happy to have someone to watch it with her.
So later we found the movie and justifying that it would help with learning Portuguese, we bought the movie too. Later when we arrived back in Altamira, Cleide and Marilda wanted to see it so we let them invite a few friends and we had a High School Musical 2 party. And for those of you who know the music, and my empathy goes out to you….você e a música em mim.

I was lucky enough to watch that on Christmas day in English (I may have enjoyed the Portuguese more). I think that it was so cool they all got together in the pool party at the end. Is that how it ends in Portuguese?!

Ro said Ella had seen it when she was there! Was that HSM1? I got HSM2 for Christmas!
