First 100 Days in Brazil

We've landed in Brazil and are finding our way around the planalto of Brasilia, slowly discovering our neighborhood and enjoying the incredible sunshine, blue skies, and weather of the capital city. This will be our home for the next three years, and we are in that shiny new stage of discovery, taking in each experience for the first time.

Beginnings are precious times for noticing, something that you lose after being in the same place even after a short time. In that spirit, I want to keep my antennas up and capture this new place for my own reflection and for you to also become acquainted with our life in this new home. So far, the transition has been rather smooth but there is a lot to share. I'll be rolling out tidbits here and there to share our happenings and novelties in the first 100 days in Brazil -- please feel free to comment, question, or explain, but do join me on this new journey in the largest country in South America and start making your plans for a visit to beautiful Brazil!

Here's a picture from our first night after landing from the roof of our building. Cool evening breezes, palm trees, and a horizon dotted with lights and buildings.... not a bad start at all.
