Happ 2009!

So sorry for the delay in update. We have been having the best of times. The house in Jacuipe for 2008-2009 was awesome! We parried, relaxed, tanned, snorkled, surfed, ate, ate, drank then did it all over again.

Seriously its been really cool having a part of my family meet my husbands world here in Brazil. Its been very meaningful for all of us that are a part of this experience. My mom having broken spanish-english-portuguese conversations with Sabia[s father. To my sister and her new found love for BRazil. Its really been beautiful/

Sorry for spelling errors by the way - I do consider myself a smart person. But I cant type on these keyboards nor can I get spell check to hook a sista up!

I will update with more picitures once I get my laptop back functioning.

We spent 12 DAYS all over the linha verde here in brazil/ The rivers we swam were so fresh both literally and physically. The warmth of the sun and the people is truely something special.

Only drama thus far is that my moms flight yesterday was cancelled. DONT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES PEOPLE, they are evil. I mean really. She spent 5 hours in the same place in line cause the staff didnt know how to deal with a cancelled flights. By the time I got back tot eh airport yesterday afternoon people were ready to fight, cry and just never come back to BRazil. The drama was real. So my sis and mom are on an extended vacation being paid for by the airlines at great hotel in Stella MAris. So all is well that ends well.

Sabia, his cousin Alisson, sis and MOm spent the day beachside at the cutest place with an infinity pool on the beach. NOt bad. Took BEcky to some down and dirty Boca do Rio pagode last night so we are making due.

I think we are going to Emporio in JOrge Amado tonight...Tracee, Kyla and Erin all know the spot. SHould be fun. Tomorrow night Paragole concert as I want BEcky to get an idea of what carnaval feels like.

I have so many pics to share. I feel super blessed to start the new year with all part of my families connecting. So thus far 2009 has been good to us.

HEre is how I spend NEw YEars day and a photo of Sabia's mom and her best friend Tia Barbinha!
