Johnathan Budd '15 and Anastasiya Borys '15

On site visits: Both of us have had some exposure to information about construction and operation of wind mills, but have never been exposed to the level of detail regarding how all the pieces come together from start to finish and the things wind mill manufacturing companies have to consider. It was also especially interesting to learn about wind power in Brazil and the regulation and politics surrounding it. On Brazil: We have tried more food in 4 days than we ever thought possible. On our second night here, Eloi took us out to Brazilian bbq where we have tried so many different kinds of delicious meat (and desserts!). The culture here is very open and friendly – we can only hope to be as welcoming when come for the program in United States.
