Already Sunday night. It seems I must have been here a month already but it is not so. Today was a mellow (recovery) day. Got up around 10:30 and then ate a light breakfast then read a bit before heading to lunch at Lisiane´s (sister in law) house. Ate a wonderful meal--which I will definitely be making upon my return--and then came home to finish homework and chill. Now Zélia and I are chilling pre-dinner. Last night was the first night on the town and it was crazy--4 a.m arrival home. I made the unfortunate mistake of traveling in a group. As it is, I enjoy one-on-one time and this especially applies in a foreign country where a pack of gringos is highly offensive and annoying, even for me as a participant. So. We went to the historic center, el Pelourhino, to attend the end of the San Joao festivities. It was packed! My highlight, of course, was the dancing, once we got to it. My lowlights were: waiting for people to decide what they wanted to do, at every step of the way; getting very aggresively fondled as we made our way through the entrance of a club; having a hurt ankle...and I think that´s it. Mostly, all of that has been forgotten because I got in a good three hours of dancing to a live forró band and that was great. Tomorrow begins the first full week of class and activities including, finally, the capoiera class. Things continue to be great, in general, though I´m starting to wonder how to manage the large group thing and the social aspects within the program...but these are side notes.
Thanks for the mensagems peeps!
