Another week: more exploration, more comfort

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 | By msteven6 | Views [564]

I'm settling into things now, feeling more comfortable in my skin (tan and blending in now), speaking portuguese (progressing although less rapidly than I had hoped), and with the city (the basics have been mastered so onto the fun stuff...) When I ... Read more >
