.:: Rouxinol e a Cotovia ::.
by windchimes @ Tuesday, May. 13, 2008 - 09:30:48 am

Finally I could post here. I miss you all very much. I couldn't wait to be here. We are in fall in Brazil. The leaves have changed their colors, the temperature has dropped, the wind is blowing faster. My students are cold and I enjoy so much teaching them. I'm translating too. I've learnt so much with this work. I was translating two work at the same time, which I will not repeat again. It drove me crazy. Besides translating about Marine Biology, I was translating "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans C. Andersen. My favorite book of his is The Emperor New Suit and The Nightingale. If you want to tell a tale to a kid, you can search at http://hca.gilead.org.il/
I love the birds flighting freely, not in cages. They bring us happiness and lessons of  life. My daughter watched The Nightingale for the first time as the emperor. The nightingale is Rouxinol in Portuguese.

I also love the nightingale and the skylark by Shakespeare.

It is raining because it is April showers. But The sun come out tomorrow! 

Rouxinol

Have a beautiful week!

Hey Ruth! Nice to meet you! Greetings from Santos, Brazil! Rio is really a beautiful city! I went there about 2001 and enjoyed all the beaches, the hills, etc. Belo Horizonte, Ouro Preto are cities in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. I love the food from Minas Gerais very much! You must come to Santos! Have you heard about Santos?

Thanks for comment!

Have a beautiful day :)
