10 Things

In keeping with the Thanksgiving theme, I thought I'd write a post to write about the things that I'm thankful for. Though I seem to have a lot to complain about.. I do have a lot to be thankful for as well.

1.) All of the yummy fresh fruit that grows in tropical places like Brazil

(this is a giant coconut)

2.) My lovely hammock in the shade of my backyard where I can sway to the warm tropical breeze

3.) The simple neighborhood where I live... I like the cobblestone streets, and the donkey, and the women carrying baskets on their heads.

4.) Our motobike which takes us where we need to go.

5.) The corner market where I can buy cheap fresh veggies and fruit

6.) The fact that it never, ever rains - which is great, because our only mode of transportation is foot or motobike. I've been here for 3 months, and it has only rained once - and by the time I went to go look, it had already stopped. Don't ask me how stuff grows here... I really don't know. Everyday is summer...

7.) Our casa! Though occasionally infested with cockroaches and mosquitoes and quite hot, we love it :)

8.) Cheap cinema - there is a movie theater across the river that plays movies, new ones, for only $2.50 on certain days, AND this price includes popcorn and a drink. Date night? Why not!

9) Internet - my connection to the outside world. Though we don't have WiFi, as "there was none left" for us.. (haha) it's something, and I'm glad for it.

10.) My hunny :)
