Next week:

Hey everyone,

Just thought I´d let you know that tomorrow (at 5am!... that´s 1am for all of you at home...) we are leaving to go to Ijui/Santa Rosa for the week. Now that the weather is changing, I think I may be in for some `really cold brasilian weather´that my tio Alex keeps on warning me about. I think the jist of it is that since they concerve their energy, they don´t keep their houses warm except for the kitchen which is only warm because of making meals and showering is a bare because they have these insta-hot water showers that doesn´t work extremely well when the water is almost freezing. (maybe I´ll take a picture to demonstrate to everyone what i´m talking about if I do end up taking one of these frigid showers)

I think we´ll be back on Friday or Saturday and then I´m off again to see more of this beautiful country for 2 weeks! WOO HOO! I really have no idea what internet access will be like, but I´ll try to stop into an internet cafe or something by monday/tuesday and give a brief update.

abraços,
Ana
