A Place of Knowledge:
After going to the beach we decided to go to the National Library of Brazil, it was a little afternoon when we got there and went right after. Library's can generally be boring places but it was really fun exploring all of the things inside the library. There was this one section called Teresa Cristina Maria photograph collection, that has 21,742 pictures aging back to the nineteenth century, THE NINETEENTH CENTURY! That was in the 1800's! It was also a very fancy place, there was nothing that looked odd and everything looked like it belonged there from the beginning. Who knew a library could be so interesting? Brazil has really blown all of us away and changed our minds on alot of things. As you can see from the pictures there are floors and floors of books. I wish we had cool old library's like this in Apex. After we visited the library we when out to dinner, it wasn't any where fancy. We're back at the hotel tomorrow and we'll be going to the slums which will be pretty interesting, but also pretty scary. Hopefully we'll be alive tomorrow to blog about it.
