Guitar lessons

    When I got here, I started taking guitar lessons with a friend of Gordon's called Paul. I have never had a different guitar teacher before, and it's very interesting to see the differences between Paul and Jackson (my teacher in Brazil). I'm learning a lot of new stuff here based on the skills that i had before.
    Guitar playing here is different too, I have more time to spend on that mainly because I have less distractions here like video games, but I could be putting more effort on it.
    Well, it's being a lot of fun and I'm having a great time with Paul.

Naramata

On November 9, I went to a place called Naramata, in British Columbia. We went together with a group of 200 people i think from different cities. It was a church event, but, the main focus wasn't to covert you into any religion, it was actually to have fun with a little bit of spirituality.
On the first day, we were introduced to the program, the streams, where they gathered all of the people and made an activity with them and the workshops. I didn't go to any workshop this day because i wasn't feeling well then i stayed in bed.
The second day was one of the best days, I went to a nice workshop about the environment with some spirituality, we went out in the cold with our eyes closed and then, we were just feeling the grass and the trees.





The third day, the last one, was just like the other but with a dance party in the end of it. Then we went to bed.
