Laura's First Impressions

My first impressions are really limited, since I spent so much of the first days in the apartment.  I will admit, that with the abrupt change from US to Brazil, getting on the plane in one country and off in another, I hadn't prepared myself for the transition.  All of a sudden I had to try and communicate with my limited Portuguese, and I did get discouraged with that part of it.

However, the people are very nice, and most of them will slow down and be helpful when it's explained that I only speak a little Portuguese.  I haven't been out enough to really see much of the customs and etiquette, but I hope to get out and about more today and the following days.

Abby @ 4 years, 7 months, 25 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 7 months, 25 days
Enzo expected in 1 month, 15 days
