Hey everyone, We finally have our car!!! Yes we went to Porto to pick it up on Tuesday and it has been good so far. The guy we bought it from paid for all the repairs and the price stayed the same. He has been very good about making sure we get what we want. So now, we believe we have a great car. We will get you pictures some time soon.

We had a wonderful time at the beach last weekend. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we did all burn and are pealing now. This coming Wednesday we are going to MCT a huge interactive museum. (S&P can tell you more about it) Anyway, it's a holiday here and my school is going on a field trip there. They got a great deal (R$7/person) so we are all going. Taiesa is going with us and we will continue on to Pelotas for the weekend. It is Ivan's B-day on Monday the 20th. We promised them that Pelotas would be the first trip in our new car, so this is it.

Tiago stopped by here the other day. He is back from Canada and loved it. He is planning to go back in March. Cindy had sent a little package for us. PEANUTBUTTER!!!!!!!!! Man we missed that stuff. We also got some real Twizzlers, Good Host Iced Tea and a few other things. It was great to hear about his time and to hear about Canada.

Well I should head off. Look forward to hearing from you all soon.
