Amazing birthday in New York

Everybody agrees that New York is a wonderful city, as well as PDPI is a great Educational Chance in our lives.I used to daydream a lot about how my life, my studies and relationships would be during the PDPI in NY, when I was in Brazil.

By the way, my birthday is on January,17th and I wondered how that day would be....far from my little boys and my Family. In my thoughts I imagined that it´d be a sad and lonely day. But it was a great surprise...
It was Friday and we had a special schedule. We were supposed to visit New York Public Library.I spoke to my Family on Skype, which made really happy, but the day was just starting...

First My PDPI friends sang "Happy Birhtday" for me in the Subway Station, then We had the chance to know NY Public Library, a wonderful place to visit or study. In the Library I saw an old map of Brazil and recognized some of the MINAS GERAIS GOLD CIRCUIT TOWNS of the 18th century. Very interesting!!!

After day I went to Times Square for the first time, took lots of pictures with my friends Vander Vilela e Robert Lima!

Later I went to the Empire State Building, while in line I had the opportunite to see photos of its construction, but when I stepped on that balcony and saw that landscape I almost lost my breath... How can I explain that incredible sight, I was speechless...

When I thought the day was happily ending, on our way back home, there was a Hip Hop Dance Group, making mini.presentations in the Subway Station. We stopped to see and took pictures, since it´s an alternative look on NY Culture. 

But More gifts were about to come...
My dear PDPI friends threw a Surprising Party for me in the Amsterdam Residence and gave me some flowers...

Imagine....
Not even in my nicest daydreams, I thought of such an Unforgettable Day, like that!
Being in New York was a child dream...
How can I be so blessed to spend my 3.2 birthday here???
Such a great way to celebrate it!!!

I thank God for my health, for the PDPI and the special people He has put on my way and all He has done in my life!
