you may have noticed...

that i haven´t blogged at all lately - that´s due to trying to detox while at the beach, and also to the fact that this site was down and deleted half of my blog entries, so i don´t exactly trust it anymore.

anyway, i´m coming home 12 days from today (the 22nd), and will be in Havertown for a couple days, then apt hunting in DC and hopefully visiting my best friend in Charlottesville.

since i last wrote, i moved from that hostel in the middle of nowhere outside Salvador to one in a great neighborhood super close to the beach, and stayed there 3 nights. on Sunday i took a 10-hour bus ride to Maceio and was amazed at all the palm trees while we drove (like, forests of them). Maceio lived up to its reputation (given to me by a friend from Georgetown) - i stayed 2 nights in a slightly stinky hostel and then 2 in a great pousada one minute from the beach, and got plenty of sun. now i´m in Recife, and will be here until i fly to Lima on the 14th. from lima i´ll go to Cusco from the 15th to the 19th, and then fly from Lima to home on the 22nd.

this internet place is super pricey, so i´m not taking the time to upload pics, but i promise to upload the rest when i get home!

Yesterday in his search to find a house to rent during his tenure as my project's manager, he found a house he might like to buy. It's somewhere southwest of point B on the map below - i.e., very off road. View Larger Map He asked if I'd like to accompany him for a second visit, and I gladly accepted. This is the house next door to the one he might buy (and his inspiration for renovations): From Nairobi, take 2 and this is the view from there, complete with giraffe: From Nairobi, take 2 (can you see it?) So good to get out of the city for a bit. This was the view on the way back to the hotel: From Nairobi, take 2 Pretty clo...

The Kenya office has an office assistant named Derek who's job it is to bring us all tea or coffee when we arrive, and at an appointed time in the afternoon. I can't get used to it. He's a sweetheart, though.
