Week 3.1

Wow, he really meant it when he said he'd 'finish the rest later.' I guess they split up their internet time today because we just got THIS!!:

Finishing up our Q&A:

What do you do for money? Did you exchange the American cash?

-Yeah, when we first got here we exchanged $60 for Reais (pronounced hey-ice. singular is Real, pronounced hey-aw, and say the -aw part with your nose clogged. beautiful, no?). The sign for Reais is R$.

What!? Your comp buys candy and not you? But you help eat it? ha ha Do they have some good candy down there?

-Yeah, I'm largely candy-less. I try not to spend too much money--I'll need it for internet and sending letters, which turns out to be a little costly. Not overly bad though.

What have you seen in your city exploration? Museums, or you just walk around or what? Do you take buses or just walk?

-He didn't answer this, but did say this:

-I see lots and lots of REALLY short people. Like, maybe 4 feet tall? Brazilians are small =]

If I'm looking at the front of the CTM from the street, is it to the left or the right of the skinny track? (we're looking at Google maps.) [see the picture two posts below]

-CTM's on the south side of the road. Big building, looks like y-wing (from the top) from star wars if you use your imagination, haha.

Have fun with your pday today!!

Love love! I sent some pictures in the mail to you guys today--5, I think. Hopefully they get there soon-ish. Which should be like, 2 weeks, apparently? Oh well.
Love!
