Election Day

when i'm around Portuguese speakers, i listen in over-drive, trying to pick out any sounds, gestures, words that are familiar. yesterday the ESL students i'm helping with came into the classroom after recess chanting in their sweet accents, "oooo--baah--maaah, ooo--baah--maah" over and over. i began listening my hardest, attempting to make out what Portuguese word they were saying.

ha, ha. not Portuguese. Obama! Sim, meninos. Obama.

Obama does look like a nice guy. I hope he wins.

Nice to have you here. Lots of good pictures and moments to come. Is everything set to see you in Cabo Frio on the New Year?

Nice blog, by the way =D.
