address, if you please

6a-feira (Friday)
Today was a rainy day and that ruined part of our city tour however we still got to see the coastline and the various areas of the city and I am now even more excited than I was yesterday. There were surf spots, beautiful beaches, plazas, old churches, favelas, shopping centers and a wide range of activities to be experienced. Tomorrow is my first day off and I´m going to venture out for a run and then wander around until my evening plans which I insist include dancing. We shall see. I am enjoying spending time with my host mom, having a little bit of structure, speaking Portuguese every chance I get and getting to know some of the awesome people from other universities in the program with me. I realize that I´m still in the first week and my optimism might not carry me all the way through...but, at this point, I don´t see my excitement for what this city and culture has to offer waning. It´s a late night here, post long group dinner and chilling time with Zélia, so I´m off to sleep off. More details later, of course. And, if anyone would like to send written/hard copy correspondence please direct it to the following address:

ACBEU, Naomi Wood
