Internet!

I've been here a full week and finally my mac has been removed from my backpack. The first full week we stayed out in the country at a farm, just orientating ourselves to Portuguese and the way of life and adventuring. First off, the rainforest is AWESOME and in a week, I've only gotten like..six mosquito bites, how about that? [This has to be quick because we're running late for a meeting, whoops]. Second, its REALLY hot here. Like, incredibly warm and humid. I have probably never sweat so much. It is astonishing. Third, the people in my group are AMAZING. What awesome people. FOURTH, I got VERY sunburned..our proximity to the equator really takes a toll. Fifth, I'm meeting my host family tonight and I am very nervous due to my lack of Portuguese knowledge and sixth, I hate lists like this so I'll probably stop. Next time I get a chance I'll write a better post, but I'm having a great time, seeing amazing things and experiencing so much. I miss you all! Hope you're having fun with school and work and chores while I'm chilling in Brazil. :]
