Our Adventure Begins, Part 3

We've gone out and about to a few places so far (although we've spent a lot of time getting settled into our new place).  On Wednesday, our supervisors took us on a walk around town and showed us the pharmacy, bank, chocolate shop, and pointed out several other stores.  We went out to lunch with everyone that afternoon and that evening we went to the weekly market (which happens to be directly across the street from us) where they sell everything from fruits and veggies, to raw meat, to snacks and juices, to fresh milk, to live chickens (which Carter absolutely loved).  After that, we headed to the supermarket…let’s just say it’s no Kroger, haha.  But we were able to find a good amount of what we needed and enjoyed looking around at all the different items.  Thursday, Nick and I ventured out on our own for the first time to buy something to bathe Carter in (there are just showers here and he was NOT a fan of taking a shower when we tried) and some clothes hangers.  We were successful but I’m definitely ready to start our language study so that when people talk to me, I don’t have to just stand there with a blank look on my face! Oh, and everybody loves Carter! He definitely sticks out with that bright blonde hair and some people have even called over others to look at him J Hopefully he’ll help us to build many relationships in the future. That night, Nick went to a Bible study (all in Portuguese) but had fun meeting some of the people who will be part of our church here.  This weekend we are going to meet with our language teacher to try and develop a schedule for our studies, which begin next week.  Whew…we’re really doing this!
