We arrived in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul after studying in Sao Paulo for 3 weeks. We were all welcomed to stay with wonderful host families who were waiting to greet us at the little airport in Campo Grande. It was a new and different atmosphere compared to Sao Paulo, but both places had their own unique characteristics. Campo Grande is the largest city and the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul. It is the "country" with a slower pace and suburban feel, with cowboys that carried around Terrere - a common drink to this area, made with loose tea and cold water. Accompanied with Samba and Sertaneja (Brazilian country music), delicious fresh food and coconut trees in their backyards. We went on a city tour within the first couple days we were there and toured the 2 universities we were a part of, Universidade Federal (which was on strike) and Universidade Catolica de Dom Bosco.
