Well here I am, ten days in, with one update on my trip. Sorry to the two or so people that have checked up and seen nothing. So first of all Happy Birthday Mom! Secondly, here is my current situation:
I am living in a beautiful house built into a hill, and my room has two door-sized windows that open up to a huge terrace. I go to sleep and wake up with the city air, sounds and view all around me. My hosts in this awesome home are awesome! The two sons are incredibly musically talented, and they are a lot of fun. I walk fifteen minutes to school everyday where I stay for six hours study lots of Portuguese. This short period of three weeks definitely fits the intensive description (ergo few blog posts), but it will pay off in Bahia and actually already has, as I have gone out to the bars and had some quality conversations with some quality conversation partners. Walter has been here since Saturday night, and we have been having a great time in between my classes and naps
The best part so far has been the churasco that my host family had Sunday at the house. This is a Brazilian barbeque and it is awesome! We hung out and picked at delicious meat and fish and bread and cheese fresh off the grill, we drank, and we played and listened to music for about five hours. Walter was there, and we went out to the clubs after the churasco. Just an awesome day!
Forgive me for the lack of updates. Hopefully I will be blogging sooner with some good inspiration for a good story. It definitely could take place after this coming weekend on the beach in Maresias with Walter and DJ Dodgie.
