Picture Post...

Ok, I'm posting some pics I've taken so far. The past week has been hectic, a bit stressful, but enjoyable at the same time. I took two trips downtown this week to deal with Brazilian documentation stuff. Once to the Federal Police station to get our protocolo, then another yesterday to sign documentation for my official Brazilian work book. Employees in Brazil have to have one of these things to work legally, I guess. The rest of the week has been filled with work days for us and play days for the kids. Lots of late nights, eating out at restaurants and at homes of colleagues and new friends.

Last night, we had Happy Hour at the playground. All the other school employee families that live in the Portal with us came down to the big playground and we all brought our kids, our snacks, and our drinks. I wonder where else in the world this happens. At least where it's both legal and socially accepted...expected even.





Here's a photo of the kids in front of the Portal's "waterfall".





Here they are walking in Portal's "rainforest".




A view of our pools from above.






The kids having breakfast in the apartment (the only meal we seem to eat at home these days).




The view from our livingroom at night.
