I got to say, it's not easy being so far away from home. Everything is so new, scary and beautifull at the same time, it makes me feel strange and a quite lonely too. Maybe it could be described as a feeling of paranoia, nothing really feels right. Well, I'm lucky I've got company and I know this feeling will pass as we get used to our surroundings and the brazilian way of life.
So far the brazilian way of life has seemed very relaxed. Our brother from another mother,Tulio, has been a great help. I have no idea what we would have done without him. Not knowing the language really makes you feel like an outsider, but with Tulios help we have managed to get a good place to sleep. Yesterday he took us to the beach to have a few drinks and talk about our plans for our stay in Recife. It was an interesting night since we were both suffering with jet lag, add a few drinks and you have two young adults with the worst homesickness trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
The jet lag is still bothering me, at the moment I can't really think straight at all. Something as simple as writing is so difficult right now. I think I just need a moment or two, some place quiet where I can just relax and charge my batteries.
But all is well anyway. We're not sick and there's really nothing to worry about. I guess It's just hitting me how far away from home I actually am and it makes me miss a lot of people.
Got to go now, Tulio is taking us to the shops and beach soon. I also can't stand writing so slowly. I keep making mistakes and I don't have the time or patience to correct them, so go and flood my facebook so that when I get back I won't have to miss you as much. Got to get my mojo back!
Miss you !
