Dear 2nd Grade Children, The city of Natal is so beautiful. After watching an intense football match at Arena das Dunas, I relaxed on the warm sandy beach of Ponta Negra . Then I went to the Forte dos Reis Magos (Fort of the Holy Kings) which was built in 1598 to protect the coast from Pirates. People here eat a lot of beef jerky called carne de sol . I went to visit “ ”the world s oldest cashew tree ’and dined on the delicious fruits and nuts.Love, Red

The green of the forests, the yellow of the hot sands, and the blue of the crystal sea: if Brazil is a symbol of our planet’s natural wealth, Natal is the definitive example of all that makes our country amazing. Located on the most easterly tip of South America, whose biggest cultural icon is the multifaceted folklorist Luis da Camara Cascudo, Natal is a city of abundance whose generous people who are keen to give, to share, to host, to embrace and to celebrate.The silhouette of a man with outstretched arms on the poster surrounded by the colours of our flags symbolise our country’s welcoming of the biggest football event on the planet and the opportunities of economic growth, employment and cultural exchange that usually go hand in hand with the FIFA World Cup™.
