Just 1.5 months left!

It just dawned on me today that I only have 1 month and 3 weeks left in Brazil, only 1 month two weeks left in Curitiba with language classes (both taught and taken!). I now teach 4 days a week, 2 classes Saturday, one private class 3 times a week, and 2 conversation classes on Mondays and Thursdays (if anyone shows up). Unfortunately, in Brazil they only pay you once a month, but still I am learning alot from the experience.

Last week Zack and I just got back from Florianopolis. I had alot of fun, more than I expected, actually, and even got to go forro dancing. I got to speak to alot of people, revisit some I hadn't seen in a while, and meet some interesting new ones. I even had a brush with death-almost. Apparently when we went dancing, our driver was insane and took us up 45 degree hills in a van. I always wondered how anyone could drive up roads that steep. Now I know, and I never want to experience it again! The police even stopped us at the top to ask what we were doing and told us it wasn't safe. Then there was the fun part of getting down. That was almost as exciting as going up. I will try to get a photo.
