Things are great in Brazil! I've been here now a week and can definitely say that truthfully. I never knew how wonderful a group of staff members and community could be. Leaving Illinois and KME was really hard for as you know, but with the way things are going, I'm/we're off to a great start. They have taken care of us in every aspect of our lives and I just can't say how much I appreciate that. Very lucky girl.
Tomorrow morning I'm off to the local produce market and to buy some plants. We're going in a group so we can learn the ins and outs and get a bit of help with our Portugese. It is coming along... Early day though...meeting @ 7:30 a.m. @ school. That's 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday during the summertime for those of you Illinoisians. Then onto school to work more on my classroom and off to a party tomorrow night. Fun and busy!
Final word. Sorry for the delay in my postings. Just got the internet today at home and with our schedule the past week will update over the weekend with pics and all. So happy to have it after being envious of 9 of the 11 other newbies who'd been facebooking, gmailing, skyping with their friends and family. It's time for me now. Yea! Hope you all are wonderful. Miss you much!
Meg, we can't wait to see your pictures. Glad you are safe and happy and that you are getting settled in. We think about you every day here!
