We're Moving...Again!

So, just when we have gotten to know our neighborhood we are moving to another one. On friday we will be leaving our safe little private apartment in Sao Francisco and moving to a place in Icarai, only one block from my school (UFF). However, this is not our own little apartment. We will be renting a room from a tiny little older lady who lives with her two grandsons (sixteen and seventeen years old). She seems very nice, and although this sounds scary, it will definitely force us to use our Portuguese a lot more.
We have our own bedroom with a nice big bathroom, a TV, and she has said we can hook up internet there. We will share the kitchen, and she has a washing machine we can use once a week. The new apartment building is directly across from the beach and really nice, but we are currently a little nervous about just jumping into a house with a family.


Get this: she is also a member of a country club here in Icarai and said that she can take us there sometimes. It has like three restaurants, a place for football (soccer), volleyball and tennis courts, and three pools (no golf). Ha ha. Wonder what she would think if she knew I was the "help" at a place just like this in the states?!

Hell, she'd prolly kick your ass out, but you did bring Stefan along, so if you can get in with him, you're prolly gravy. Also, Stefan, I need your help with getting a countdown timer on my blog :p. If you wanna e-mail me the code you use here, that would be sweet. Also, get Skype like yesterday, gawd!
