Girl from Ipanema

When people heard I was heading down to Brazil for 4 weeks for work they all thought I was going to have a great time and spend a lot of time at the beaches. Well, guess what? We're a few hours from any beaches. And it's been work, work, work and more work.

The past 2 weekends we spent trying to recover from work and late dinners. It's our only chance to really get a full night's sleep! It's not that we're partying (and we're not!). It's that by the time the shuttle drops us off at our stop it's about 6:00PM. There's really not a whole lot of time to unwind before thinking about dinner. Some nights, supper is fairly light washed down with a glass of beer (which seems to be cheap and plentiful here).

So this trip is half over. I am really looking forward to flying back home to zero-degree weather.
