Because I Already Spend So Much Money on Their Products

It's raining outside. I'm sitting on R's desk at I., so I suppose this is the closest I've ever been to being in a rain forest. Hopefully it doesn't lead to any crazy bugs coming in in search of a drier place. I'm also hoping the walk home isn't too bad.

I'm (finally) beginning to feel settled into Rio, only one month before I have to leave. I think the Portuguese is picking up slowly, and I've been good about reading and doing the audio lessons regularly. We went to the farmer's market yesterday morning before work. It was a good experience, language-wise, and it was also nice to see so much fresh fruit and vegetables and food. We bought spices and some produce.

Work is going well. I really like P., not only because of the work they do but also because of the way the organization is run. It seems to be a place where everyone gets along and respects on another, and they are efficient without being unhealthy. I hope I can find a similar place to work when I return. If only Aveda could find some use for me.
