We visited the State Museum of Pernambuco to learn more about Brazilian history. I learned that Brazil had a rocky history with a lot of problems with slavery, colonization, and political instability. Over 40% of the slaves that went to the AMERICAS ended up in Brazil. The house behind me was part of an engenho, or small sugar cane plantation. The master of the engenho live a luxurious life in the house you can see behind me. The slaves lived in the senzala which is located in the basement of the house.
I was chosen to go to the house of gryffindor.
Jacob is always good at posing for pictures. We are in front of the master's house at the engenho. In case you are wondering, this is not the typical Brazilian house.
