Carol came home from her yoga class tonight and said one of the other yogis had showed her a picture of six toucans sitting in a tree on a nearby hill. This is cool for so many reasons. It's cool that Carol found a yoga class that she likes. The fact that other students are engaging with her and inviting her in is really cool. I like to think it would happen to an estrangeira just learning English in Utah, say, but I'm not sure it would. The fact that she followed the conversation and came home telling me stories about what was said is definitely cool and shows that language is being learned. It is also freaking cool that we are living in a place where toucans sit in the trees. There are some resident macaws that hang around in town and fly screaming over the house sometimes, but the toucans are wild, they legitimately live here, and you can't get much cooler than that.
