Ate lago from Brasil! This may be my first go at writing a blog, but bear with me. There are bound to be some great stories that come from this trip, and I'll be more than happy to share them.
24 hours after going to the airport in Seattle, I'm pleased to say that Mitchell and I safely made it to our hostel in Porto Alegre. I gotta say, I really feel at peace. Right now it's 2:30 am, and we're just lounging around watching a Portuguese-dubbed over Two and a Half Men with the window open and a fan on... this definitely beats 35 degrees and drizzling. I really hate Washington in the wintertime, save snowboarding and Christmas. I am definitely happiest when the sun's out, and I can't wait to go catch some rays tomorrow... hate to rub it in for all you back at home.
The traveling itself turned out to be a strange but healthy mix of exciting, confusing, and tiring. Long story short, it wasn't easy making all of the connections we needed to make, but somehow it still all worked out better than imagined. We had to do some serious hustling (especially in the Sao Paulo airport) to catch our flights, but in my opinion those kind of experiences only makes it more fun to look back on. I'm just happy that we made it here in one piece... now all I gotta focus on is how to do life in Brasil. But I'm not to worried, I love it here so far! The area is packed with things to do and people to kick it with, the hostel is gonna be a great place to live, and the people so far have been very generous and easy going. Not to mention, the legends are true: the women here really are that attractive. Caramba
Too excited for the adventures that lay ahead! The rest of the people from UW are coming tomorrow! It will be great to see all of them, it's a really solid group. I'm too tired to really think straight right now, so I'm going to go to bed and fill in more details later on.
By the way, I had an amazing last few days in Washington, and I really want to thank everyone I hung out with for making it as great as it was. I'm already excited to see everyone again when I get back
Tudo bem e ciao ciao for now ~ 1/08/13
