Feeling lucky again.

Another Saturday and we went to another wonderful place.  It was out in the same are as the last saturdays Hare Krishna camp but this was on the river and it was a catch your trout and eat it camp...with beer.  Ben caught two trout.   WONDERFUL!!!   I dont think I have ever tasted trout this good, so good it tasted better than halibut.  I did not take my camera but the place where we went reminded me of Alaska.  Mountains on both sides but summer all year.  So beautiful, in the distance you would see mountains with the trees cut down and palm trees here and there. 
I am so happy here.  I dont think I have been this satisfied since I move to Alaska for the first time.  I am fulfilled completely, we are in a scrunch for money but that dosn't see to effect me either.  Brasil is a wonderful place with wonderful people.  I am feeling lucky again.  :)

Good week!

I am so tired from my week and dont have the time to write today.  I will fill you in tomorrow and BTW... there is good toilet paper here, just not in public restrooms.  We have just came to the realization exactly how much we will be able to spend each day on food, entertainment, emergencies, health care and gas.  So, besides waking up everyday at 5:30am for class this may be what just drained my brain.  Good Night!

Ben Likes School

2nd day was better and Ben has many stories to tell about his school.  He also sang me a song that he learned.  He sang and sang and when he said grem grem gremety, I knew he was starting to make things up.  It was funny and wonderful. 

First Day of School

Bens first day... was good.  I think he got frustrated a bit playing with the kids but he is ready to go back tomorrow.  We all have to go through the motions and every day it gets better.  I asked him what he did today and he said that he sharpened his pencil and wrote with a pencil.  I think he may have bit another kid but I couldnt understand all that the teacher was saying, when I asked ben he said that he was just showing her how to bite herself.  Rodrigo will find out in the a.m.  Today was a good day and were on the right track.
