Today we had class in morning as usual and learned about the
difference between space and place in landscape and architectural design. Afterwards, we were given the opportunity to
see what we had discussed in action at an incredibly designed architect’s office
and talk to the team running the business.
The group of ambitious females showed us around, talked to us about how
they got started, unique projects (and clients) they’ve worked with, and gave
us an in-depth look into what daily life is like for a landscape and
architectural designer. The office
wasn’t the only thing to be amazed by; the women themselves and their success
inspired us all. 
For dinner we excitedly walked into town for our very first
Brazilian steakhouse experience. To start, we all hit the salad bar, which
we could have made a meal of alone. There was a large variety of dishes ranging
from potato salad to fresh sushi, crab & corn pasta to fried fish and
everything in between (including many dishes we had never seen before). Once we
sat down, the servers began bringing around different hot meats to cut off if
your individual coaster was on the green side. We had various steaks, chicken,
sausages, beefs, ox, chicken hearts—every kind of meat you could imagine. Once you need a break you simply flip the
coaster to the red side and the servers know not to offer you more until you
flip it back to the green side. It was
quite an experience and delicious to say the least!
After we all had time to digest, the crew headed for our
first night out in Lapa. It’s a busy downtown
area with a lively nightlife full of samba clubs. It was a great bonding experience trying to
keep up with the samba dances together and tons of fun! Can’t wait to practice
and go back!
