Its raining... but I guess that's why its so green here!


View out our dorm window here at Towson State University in Maryland. Its raining, and thundering...

We took a red-eye flight via Long Beach airport to Dulles… Left SMF and got to Long Beach (a dinky little airport with the weirdest on/off set up since Navegantes in Santa Catarina… small, a lot of planes, hardly any terminal… what there was was in portables with strange ramps, hilarious… arguably the weirdest little airport we have ever been subject to. Luckily it was about 50minutes between flights...

The flight to IAD (Dulles) in @ 5am… and the Blue Van reservation was messed up... we had a small tour of DC ("Look Milton there's the Kennedy Center! Look Milton there's the Washington Monument! Look Milton there's the Brazilian Consulate... what?") and the driver didn’t want to take us to Towson as promised. They put in the wrong zip code, and it was clear from the start that he didn’t want to take us to Towson (which to him seems like the other side of the world, when to us it was just a light rail ride away!. We made him take us to BWI anyway.

After washing up a bit in the restroom, and big breakfast with bad coffee, we took the 1st light rail to Towson…

But its good here... the dorm is four rooms, a large space, kitchenette and 3 bathrooms and nosso amiga Darlinda de Portugal in the next room... oh and Maria do Carmo & Cecilia from Brasil just showed up... eu acho estamos no favela Português, uai!
