The Clog

This started as a blog about living abroad for 7 months, but the reality of getting a job has me talking about other topics while in between countries. (Above photo taken on return trip from Mexico, 2008. Looks like castles in the sky.)

blah blah blah

so i~m pretty pumped about my new havaianas. my old pair finally broke after two years (not bad for a piece of rubber). my new havaianas are classic. the only colors made in the beginning were black and blue, with white on the top of the sole and the color on the straps and bottom of the sole. i have the blue.

in other news, i must look pretty local by now. on my way to the internet, i was offered a ride by a cutie. i said thanks but didn~t accept, as it has been engrained not to take rides from strangers regardless of how safe it is here in rosa. also, i was approached by an elderly argentinian woman who asked me for directions to the beach. i must look like i know the way. how far i~ve come from day 1.

i have two friends who want to visit in december. one is a brazilian with whom i traveled around brazil 8 years ago. the other is a turkish friend from san francisco. we met in sign language class. we may do some traveling together while he is here but he~s not sure about the duration of his stay.

and for mom anmd dad, my friend rodrigo wants me to tell you that even though i live alone, i am safe. there are 5 friends who live within talking distance of my house and we all take care of each other. he is always looking after me. he carries my things and makes sure i have everything i need. he~s like a big brother.

TB has finally made a civil union with the dog that protects me and my house. she can walk in front of her and the dog doesn~t do anything. this is a milestone! tb is the neighborhood cat and the dogs don~t bother her anymore. it~s like they know she~s mine.

i have memorized the world map. hey, there~s a lot of time and nothing to do when it rains.

i will post some more exciting news once i start my treck to the amazon. more adventures to come!!
