Thanks to my one generous neighbor in this big apartment building, we have limited (free) wi-fi. I just wanted to let the world know that we have arrived. Our trip was good. We weren't stopped by customs or asked any questions. The cat was pretty well behaved since he was drugged most of the time. Once he "woke up" after his first pill had worn out he started to go a bit crazy, but E just took him to the bathroom in the airplane and gave him another 1/2 a pill; he was knocked out in minutes. He only peed once on the plane to Sao Paulo, but because we had training pads it was easy to clean up (again, in the bathroom). We arrived in Brasilia this morning - the weather was beautiful and we were left with a good first impression of the city.
Our apartment is good, in a nice area. It is the right size for us and because it came furnished (by the school), we have what we need. They bought us a refrigerator, oven/stove, washing machine, queen-sized bed, dishes, furniture, some groceries, and even a TV. This of course makes our lives much easier.We were driven all of the southern region of the city to be shown our neighborhood and surrounding areaqs, and we had lunch (mmmm) at the school. I met up with the principals and other administrators, as well as secretaries. Then because we were soooo exhausted we took a 4-hour nap before exploring our neighborhood and buying groceries...and for sure stopping for a couple chopps and some appetizers. The school will be taking us shopping, take me to all of the places I need to go to get my Brazilian documents, and for more lunches/dinners. Everything is good and under control.
Glad to be here.
