if I could work out how to make international calls from this little town I'd call home and let my parents know I'm all god.
They've not emailed back for a while.
Maybe they've moved...

15TH MAR
Today i feel a strange kind of good.
I'm taking it easy today.
Since carnival and trying to get a normal life more normal than that of a tourist I've not been 100% fit.
Each time Ricardo asks if I'm feeling better I don't know which thing may or may not be better, coz there are lots of complaints.
Anyway, this strange kind of good is the feeling that every cloud´s silver lining more than makes the cloud worthwhile...
I'm busy yet busy getting into a Brazilian life.
My body aches but from long overdue physiotherapy.
My stomach is raw from surfing on a rubber 'deck' bare-chested (bare-stomached just doesn't have the same ring) but I'm learning to surf and getting my body acustomed.
And finally: I've got a summer cold sweeping my body, through, my guts, through those tubes in your faces whose name is hard to spell and through my nose and throat. The silver lining there is the most important part. I feel like I'm in a place where I'm comfortable and relaxed enough to give into all the new bugs let my whole body get all the acclaimatising out of the way.
After this I'm sure I'm gonna be set and what's more, round here there's an energy I'm in tune to that keeps me strangly positive even when I'm ill.
Awesome! Once again tudu bem! (all well)

13TH MARÇO . Segunda
Sometimes I hit a good roll, nothing major, just enough good moments in a row to make me take note of how well things are going.
On this ocassion I'm just happy learning Portuguese and being in this friendly, social place.
First I managed to ask the bus driver if he as going to a certain place and if he'd drop me there, and understood when he did.
Second, I managed to make arrangements at the hospital to see someone for physiotherapy.
On the bus back I planned my flyer for English lessons and then was looking at this pretty girl. She turned round smiled, waved, got up, came over, gave me a kiss and sat down with me. WOW!
She remembered me from the week before, asking her about buses and she remembered my name even.
We had a little conversation and I understood what she was saying.
NEXT!! Back in São Lurenço the local gardener acknowledged me with a thumbs-up, then I recognised the owner of the guest house and called out to her. We chatted about all sorts and she said how I had learnt a lot and invited me and Ricardo to go round later for some food.
At another time these things might not seem much but it's definately the little things that put you in a good mood.

12TH MAR- DOMINGO
I liked the way i went out yesterday to use the internet and got back to Casa do Ricardo to find his brother and his girlfriend drinking on the front porch, they said we were going to the beach and we would sleep there, sounded good, I was quite tired...
I didn't quite understand. Today we're still at the beach, some way from Bertioga : )
It's beautifu, everyone surfs. It's hot but overcast so I don't even have to worry about the sun.
Unfortunately due to my lack of understanding I didn't bring board for me and have to wait for someone to come out of the water before I can go in.
That might be a good thing because I have to take it easy with my back anyway. Tudu bem!
