Brown Bear Grooves On

(Bear is tired of doing homework)

Since Maddie, the tempetuous Jungle Surfer, had her blog entry, it's only fair that Claire, Brown Bear (or at times red, pink, blistered, or mottled bear) gets her turn. Brown bear has jumped into Brasilian culture-- jumping into rice and beans at most meals, jumping into a spot-on Portuguese accent (although her comment is "I can't speak Portguese, it will corrupt my Spanish!"), jumping into any body of water, and being a mostly good sport. Everyone thinks she is Brasilian or Argentinian (could it be the large hoop earrings, spaghetti strap shirts and manicured fingernails?). We asked her this morning if she was ready to go home or if she could stay travelling longer. She answered that aside from missing friends, she would keep going. I do believe that the genetic travel bug found on both sides of her parents' has found the next generation.
