luis, a 38 yr old guy i met the first day i arrived, has been like an older brother to me. he is very protective. there is a guy who, when giving me a kiss on the cheek as brazilians do to greet eachother, always goes for the lips. it really bothers me, so i wanted to vent and told luis. i asked luis not to mention it but he immediately walks over to the guy, has a brief conversation with him, and the guy apologizes on the spot. i~m not sure what he said to him but it worked!
when men come to talk to me when i~m out and about, luis is right behind me, just watching peripherally while talking to other people. i don~t know why he feels i need to be protected. maybe it~s in his nature. maybe i seem naive. whatever it is, i like it. i have never felt so protected.

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.)
