Just a few things that have made my life exciting in the past week:

• seeing a man in overalls walking down the street (not that I haven't seen them before, but they do seem to be a little out of place here)
• the tablecloth catching fire at the Mexican restaurant on Sunday
• a man walking down the street with a guitar around his neck (no case) talking on a cell phone
• the group of boy scouts (or the Brasilian equivalent) on our metro car
• 2 pair of shoes
• a used-book store
• chocolate mousse
• anticipating Julie's arrival tomorrow
