Getting Settled

Things have been a little challenging lately! We have been trying to get to know our surroundings and trying to communicate in portuguese. It's proving to be much harder than we expected! The past few days have been filled with sleeping in, shopping for new bed linens and fishing equipment, going to the local grocery store (pingo doce) almost daily, learning the public transportation system (lordy, don't even get me started on that!!), walks/runs on the boardwalk and last night cleaning the carpet b/c I stepped in dog poop on our walk home. It was bound to happen at some point, I suppose =(

Tomorrow our plan is to ride the public bikes and to go to the local market. The weather has been beautiful and we are very thankful for that! More to come.....
