busy weekend

This is where Dan spent most of the weekend--in the portaria, or little guard shack of the condominium, watching soccer games.

(Note the sleeping guard behind E.)

Also note here that Dan is sitting beneath a sign that says that it is absolutely forbidden for residents to hang out at the portaria or fraternize with the guards, as it keeps them from doing their job.

On Sunday afternoon, everyone took a break from the World Cup for a few hours to put on us a goodbye party. Friends from school and from the condominium threw one final churrasco for us.


And, happy as we are to be going home, it was still bittersweet.
