Hot Damn!

Hot Damn! And I mean that literally. It is flipping hot here, I am getting quite use to this constant feeling of being sweaty. It is amazing here in Santo Antonio, no one speaks any english except our hosst brothers and sisters. I am staying with such an amazingly nice guy named Allisson. He is unbelievably intelligent! I would not be suprised if he started using english words I did not even know (yeah yeah yeah... i know that would not mean much, whatever). But it is frightening being here with such a poor grasp on protuguese, I really wish I knew more, and it is frustrating i do not but I am learning. Everyone is so kind. I am in my host brothers friends house, just had lunch with her family and her host sister (who is in my class), but the generosity and humanity is truly unparallel. It is such an amazind adventure and I am so touched to be able to share an experience and converstaion with everyone here. We have portuguese class everyday at nine, we will be working on our research projects come tomorrow, which mine is suppose to be a comparative analysis of the public and private hospitals in Santo Antonio. We shall see if the lagnuage barrier can trump that, but who knows. I believe this week we start our Capoeira classes, so yes Max... I will become herra buffer than you. I miss you all, and hope by the next time you read my blog, it will all be in portuguese. Okay... Maybe a paragraph... Or a sentence. Yeah...
