Hard Week

What a f-ing week!  We moved last weekend as you already know and now I am just trying to pull the rest of my shit together.  We got Internet, a phone and Cable today! Hooray!  Wow to be connected again. 
So it has been both a challenging & productive week.  Right now I am trying to coordinate my work schedule, get the kids into school, take my cat back and forth to the doctor 50 minutes away, cordinate a babysitter, coordinate the kids and get my husband to work.  It will soon start to make more sense as the schedules fall into place but right now it is just a overwhelming... however probalby just what I needed to finally get a life here in Brasil.  I have met some great people whom I teach with at school and I really love teaching.  So all in all things are well but busy.

Defensivew Driving in Brasil

You know in America it is your obligation to watch for pedestrians and the car in front of you, Right?
In Brasil, cars go before pedestrians and it is more of an obligation to watch for the motorcycles behind you.  Like America if they hit you from behind it would be their fault however...you have to watch behind you and not make sudden movements because they will be moving quickly around the cars and it is just a matter of time.  I like driving here however, the streets are windy and you have to make 15 turns to go straight.  Seriously but it is more relaxed.  So... do I like driving here?  I think so.
