Lunch time



At the start of the day
I've made some new friends here in Palmas which has been really good. Been playing basketball about once a week too.
It was a holiday here recently, so I went on a trip about an hour out of town with a group of about 12 people - friends that I've made through my friend Angela and the church I've been going to here. We found a good spot to have a picnic (Brazillian barbecue) which was really good. There was some great views and a nice lake for to go for a swim.
On the way back in the car, I asked one of the girls if she had any brothers. She asked me if she told me would I remember. I thought this was a bit of a strange response and said that I would. Then before I knew what was happening she started rattling off her email address. The word for "siblings" in Portuguese "irmãos". Which (the way I said it) sounds like email. Oh well, I was planning on asking her for her email address anyway...
Anyway, its my last week here in Palmas. I'm off to Florianópolis (Floripa) - which is in the south of Brazil - this Saturday. I don't know anyone there yet, but I've enrolled in yet another Portuguese school there who have organised a homestay for me. I plan to be there for at least four weeks.
