We have a friend staying with us. It's been fun and has me thinking about a couple of things. First, our friend is a Chicana from Utah. People here relate to her much more as being Mexican than they do as being American and they are very very psyched to speak to her in Portuguese. A language she has been seriously studying for about four days. The other thing I noticed was that today she had to translate some Portuguese for me on the beach. It's hard to be the slowest Portuguese learner on the team but I am very excited that I will have some help with the language while Carol is in the US next week. I'm sure I will get it soon.
