a little more than two weeks to go! woohoo!

I know that nobody reads my blog so I won't apologize for not having posted anything in the past month or longer. The goal (of this particular blog, anyway) is to document my travels abroad, and since I haven't left yet I have to admit there's not much to report. But, for those who are interested, here's some details on where I'm going and where I will be:

The place I am going to is described briefly here. The Salvador da Bahia board of tourism (many pretty pictures) is here. I will be taking Portuguese classes and volunteering through this school, and the hostel (Pousada) I will be staying at when I get there, at least until I get more permanent accomodations, is here.
