Today life is definitely calmer. I was teaching class on fate again yesterday and since I was apparently not in the most positive mood, when the class asked me to explain, I was giving examples of them having goals and something bad happening and this being the unexpected fate. They actually caught on to me being a Debbie Downer, and that was funny…I think. Today we are looking at motorcycles for a second vehicle. Right now a liter of gas is $2.49, so to fill up my car is like $90. It is very expensive and now that we are both going separate places at the same time one of us has to take a motor Taxi ($5-$7) a ride. So we are in need of doing something different now. I have always wanted a motorcycle but never thought I would have one. Here many people use them for their daily transportation and it is very common. When in Rome….Brasil, right?
