My last Saturday

Last Saturday I went to a party in my friend's farm. We celebrated her birthday. However, this party was prepared in an unusual way. Its theme was a traditional brazilian celebration called "festa junina", which occurs in June every year.

It celebrates Saint John's day and is known by its traditional foods, dance and vestement. It is generally performed by catholic churches. One of these foods had been taken to the party by a friend. It is called canjica, which is a specific kind of corn cooked in milk with sugar and cinnamon. There are two types of canjica: with crushed peanuts or with grated coconut. In the party there was canjica with coconut, my favorite one. I'm a canjica lover. Every year I go to many "festas juninas" just to eat canjica. When June arrives, I feel happy.

In the farm there is a wood oven. Some friends and me found wood in the bush and then we burnt some wood in the oven to cook. I made a fire pit with the remaining wood. The people were sitting around it at night. One friend was playing guitar while others were singing. The sky was clear and the moon shining. The party itself was perfect. However, I was lethargic because last week I didn't sleep very well. It was difficult to interact with people due to my tiredness. In fact I should have stayed home resting and recovering my energy.
