Another great day… after just a week here, we both can’t even think about Sacramento… people here are so nice.  The toilet in our apartment is having problems, and it overflowed this morning…

We came home and everything was cleaned, and a cake was sitting on our kitchen table (bolo de fuba)…

The university is giving us a semester with a reduced work load to allow us to get things together and learn about how things are done.  Tonight we went back to campus in a driving rain storm and met the other teachers in the pedagogy program.  I ended up with three students who live in Mata de São João in Bahia… needless to say, I look forward to visiting them… 

We took the bus marked Praça, got off at the bottom of the Rua Direta… since it was raining hard, its creates a real spectacle… the rain flowing out the canudos in the street and the torrents of water flowing down the paralelepípedos makes a wonder noise… right now the banners are out and the lights were on... lindo demais!

Then we walked home u the Rua São José to the Largo de Rosário (near our new apartment) stopped to buy  pão and then up Rua Alvarenga, which by that time was the Rio Alvarenga… 

M made soup and is watching a novela while I take my turn at the internet… 

Tomorrow our wifi thingy you stick in the computer should be working…

We both agree, that we have never been this happy (or tired)…
