- A busy work week means about 15 hours.
- I have not worn a watch since our plane touched down 2+ years ago.

- Nearly every store delivers.
- The only US political/campaign commercials I have to see are those I choose to click on.
- Fresh fruit juice (or coconut water) is the new soda.
- I get to see my favorite TV shows without any commercials (thank you internet!)

- Futebol is much easier to understand than football.
- Skype makes it painless to stay in touch with folks back home.
- It feels great to repair a broken appliance rather than buy a new one.
- Learning a new language is like growing a new pair of eyes.
- As luck would have it, so many Brazilians are happy in spite of their circumstance, not envious for what they don’t have.
- Being in a new country means a new adventure is just outside my door – or at least not too far away.
- We live near the beach!- The dentist is cheap.
- There is no FOX news here.
- A bus, some bus, will take me anywhere I want to go.

We’ve definitely settled in.
