Today we took a trip to Recife to pick someone up from the airport. The weather here has been very rainy since we arrived on Sunday. Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen so much rain in my life! From the moment we stepped out of the plane there has been nothing but torrential downpours with a few breaks for 20-30 minutes or so every once in a ... [Continue Reading]

However, we're starting a new e-newsletter that will be sent out monthly. If you're interested in receiving it, drop me a line, and I will add you to the ... [Continue Reading]
