I arrive in Rio this morning and have already hit the beach and explored downtown. Tomorrow, another beach and another part of the city!
Details and photos coming with a better internet connection.
MUCH LOVE

COPA BRASIL
Corintians just won Copa Brasil and the city EXPLODED. I feel like I'm in a war zone. For the last 45 min- air horns, car horns, people yelling out of their apartments, firworks that sound like distant bombs. Crazy crazy crazy.
Its fun to know what happens in a game without even turning on the tv. Even better when you do and share in the excitement. The two goals were beautiful, espcially the frist my J. Henrique. They've had a great year, winning lots of tournaments and now the biggest trophy in Brazil.
I'm happy for São Paulo!

"its been so long"
This blog business doesn't seem to be my thing. At least not putting my personal life on blast on the internet. This got so complicated after carnaval, which is when I was first confronted with my own expectations of what my experience would be like here. I was incredibly excited to participate in the desfile, and after it happened, I realized everything I had to say about it was not exactly what people wanted to hear. I think to a certain extent I felt like writing how I truely felt about it would dispoint everyone, ruin their own dreams of carnaval and Brazil. A lot of my life here feels that way- not exactly what everyone would tune in to hear about. Also, everything moves so fast. I've been here six months now- SIX!- and I feel like I haven't done anything!
Not true at all. I've had an amazing time, with a lot of self relfection. This trip overall is everything I needed it to be, and I am ready hit the groud running when I get back to the states. Currently, I'm in this awkward phase adjusting to life in São Paulo without all my friends from the program (friends for life, hopefully) and making plans to go to Rio. With so many good-bye partys this last 9 days, my body is exhausted. My fever this morning definetly dampened my enthusiasm for my trip to Rio in couple of days. But I trust I will get better soon, and I'll have the energy to start this next adventure--which I plan on documenting a lot more than my frist six months here!
Well, typing can be exhausting, thus I conclude this short post! Much love to all my family and friends!
