365 Day Project - Week 41

This week we had another Bank Holiday - it's like every week around here! W had the day off so we took a little drive outside of the city. Here are some photos from that and some other bits and pieces. Enjoy!

Helpful Brazilian bus sign...."On days of rain put the umbrella in a bag to not get other passengers wet"

365 Day Project - Week 40

Wow is it ever hot!! We are into spring here and I can officially say I'm not a hot weather girl. Here are done ways we have been keeping cool. Enjoy!

A few clouds...

365 Day Project - Week 39

This week was a fairly uneventful one. We applied for W's Canadian tourist visa so we can hopefully come to Canada for Christmas. Cross your fingers and your toes for us! Here are a few photos from this week. Enjoy!

365 Day Project - Weeks 33-38 The Lost Weeks

I have returned! Yes I am still alive and well down here in the Southern Hemisphere. I will not attempt to excuse my absence other than to say that we are still desperately in search of a place to live and it has become a mission/second job for both W and I. It has consumed all of our free time and our sanity and at the moment we are still looking. Brazil is complicated....let's just say that :) Meanwhile keep your fingers crossed for us and enjoy some pictures from my lost weeks!

I am officially Brazilian now with my bi-monthly manicure...

365 Day Project - Week 31 & 32

Well here is another double edition for you! After all of the chaos with moving, traveling and starting a new job, we are definitely a bit more settled now. W is working a lot and really enjoying his new job. Now we are just on the hunt for the perfect place to live! Here are a few shots from around Belo Horizonte.

I like all of the colours everywhere....

365 Day Project - Week 30

Wow, I can't believe that I'm already halfway through my project. Our first week together in Belo Horizonte was great! I started at my new school (which I love!) and I've even learned how to use the bus on my own. W also got a new job which he is excited about so I am really happy for him as well. Here are a few photos from my first week here.

So excited to have this on my uniform...

365 Day Project - Week 28 & 29 The Canada Edition

I was lucky enough to spend my two week holiday back home in Canada. It was such a relaxing holiday and I was able to catch up with so many people that I hadn't seen in such a long time. Here is a quick snapshot of my lovely vacation. Enjoy!
