It's Friday afternoon and there is a buzz around Olin Hall. People have been acting mysteriously and JJ Marshall has been sneaking around for the past week with a video recorder in his hand. Have we entered the twilight zone? No, it's just spring Buffoonery.

Discovering Brazil

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 04:00:00 GMT

As we hustled round a small table in a crowded coffee shop in Logan airport, my mind began to speculate as to what the week had in store. Could we really get to know Brazil (a country of 160 million people and a host of cultures) in just seven days? What would the people and the terrain be like? Was it really as dangerous as some of the stories we had heard?

As we touched down in Sao Paulo, the excitement started to brew and I knew that the next seven days would be filled with the spirit of adventure.
