Estou aqui!

Hey all! I arrived safely after a 9.5 hour flight from Atlanta. Things were great the first day, we had our Brazilian friend Maite pick us up from the airport and then her boyfriend from Germany who is here visiting (who studied at OSU as well) took us around. We met our roommates, two German designers, both named Jens. So now I am learning a little German along with my portuguese. Our apartament is sort of crazy right now, because there is a student from Belgium and one from the Netherlands who are squatting there until they fly home later this week.

Anyway...it is so beautiful here, we spent the afternoon on Ipanema beach and hung around with the Jenses. My favorite part of this place so far is that you can buy everything you need right on the beach. And it is really pretty cheap too.

One more thing, we went to the supermarket yesterday and I realized they don´t have fresh milk. They keep it warm in these cardboard box packages (ew). So my roommates know how sad I am. I guess I will have to find a new favorite drink.

Tchau!

But its stays good for so long!!! (before cooled). Just pop it in the fridge. One of the first things I did when I got back to the US from Brazil was eat a good bowl of cereal. Milk never taste the same as it does in the US.
