Not to brag, but I am living with quite possibly the nicest family now. My freind Rhalime and her family invited me to move in with them and out of my other less-than-desirable house. So in the midst of booming thunder and bright lightening this past Sunday night I got a new address and new happiness. I feel like I am living in paradise: my new family's hearts of full of generosity, kindness, and warmth; they have made me feel like a member of their family.
I feel so welcome, so loved, so special here. My last house was just not a warm and fuzzy environment and to top it off it wasn't in a great area of town, there was never any food to eat, and I lived in a room with no window and a hole in the wall that welcomed all mosquitos near and far to enter for a tasty treat of courtesy of Courtney's arms and legs.
If you are wondering how I made the switch and left my old house the answer is simple. I said that I wasn't supposed to be in Belem for as long as I am now staying (this is actually true - I had travel plans to go to another state about two hours away from Belem, but when the flight was more than my entire ticket from the States to Brazil I said no-no), and that I thought I was overstaying my welcome. The hard part was leaving Thais, but I set up her very own email account and taught her how to email. The very next day I had an email from her. I hope we can stay in touch, she is a very special girl.
So now I am living my last weeks in Belem with an awesome family and totally enjoying myself here. I will be going to Salinas (the beach town) with my new family again this weekend and I am hoping for a barnacle free time!
