This is Logan in the hammock I slept in for the first week. There's six of us living together in the same apartment: Logan, Nick, Taylor, Brian, Jaren, and myself, along with Thiago and Fernanda (our hosts), and Fernanda's mom, and her son Luiz Henrique. Luiz Henrique just left today to go spend the holidays at his dad's house in São Paulo.
This is the dining area, where we enjoy our breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This is about the most delicious thing you can eat, açaí. It's a berry that grows in the Amazon but you can buy it anywhere in northeast fairly easily. Before I arrived in Recife they'd gone and bought a big huge box of it for over a hundred reais, and it lasted us about a week. It is so addicting, I can't put words to how incredible it tastes.
Jaren's in the kitchen hanging out with Chica.
This is the view from the window in the front room. You can't see it that well since it's night, but that's the beach outside across the street.
Luiz Henrique on the left, Thiago on the right. They live on the 2nd floor (3rd floor by American standards) of their apartment building, and the elevator (which they are in right now) is right outside their front door, which is super convenient. Also, ever since we have arrived, Thiago has enjoyed wearing this hat that I'm guessing someone gave to him during his mission.
Thiago and Logan. Thiago's holding the fireworks he is about to fire off. (They make a lot more of an explosion than they look like they would.)
This is Brian; he was on the plane with me to Brazil. He is really liking the reading we have for our classes.
This is Thiago, "dono da casa." He likes to stand next to people while wearing this shirt, and take his picture with them.
