We moved into the fifth place of our current adventure. This move brought us off the margins and into the mainstream. Heretofore, our abodes have abutted trails and beaches and wild spaces. Those places helped us, a little, with the language and culture because the plants and animals are important to idiomatic expressions and part of a common understanding. The place we now live is going to help a lot. It is smack in the middle of people and we expect that it will to teach us how to talk. It's a tall order for a small town of fading glory but we think it will work. It is a busy, walkable community, with a bohemian vibe. We are pretty sure that we will have opportunities to engage and a fighting chance at making friends and immersing ourselves in Brazilian Portuguese.
