A quick summary!

Dear readers! I sincerely apologize for my long hiatus from the blogging world and beg your undeserved forgiveness. The past four months have been a blur of schoolwork, forging friendships, visiting new places, and moving five different times. Looking at the photos I’ve taken, I realize that most of what has made my experiences so far has been the people I’ve shared them with, so you will now be obliged to meet some of these wonderful Brazilians that have been showing me the world of Salvador’s university life.

Shaddai and Matheus: Everyone's favorite gay couple!

Johanna: Crazy and wonderful Colombian!

Danna: She has the same birthday as me!

Murilo: He eats as much as me!

Not pictured: Raoni and Katie - my loves. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of pictures of them later.

Something that we all do a lot is go to see Murilo’s brother, Rodrigo, play in his band which is quickly growing in popularity with the release of its latest CD and their spot in the biggest musical festival of the summer.

Other favorite activities include hanging out at Raoni’s house which is rather large, has a pool and is perfect for having barbecues.
