$1.75/15 minutes!!! really!!!

beth and i took our passports to the brazilian embassy today to get our visas. a few perplexing points:

1. why does portugese sound nothing like spanish? i kept hearing words i recognized and would get excited, and then it sounded like someone was speaking french. trés, muy confusing.

2. labeling something "public parking" when it is really valet is unfair. this isn't perplexing, just irritating.

3. i have a spanish paper due tomorrow, and i'm procrastinating. once again, not perplexing--totally, absolutely straightforward.

oh, and more travels: my friend richard and i are going to make the drive back to KC together, so i will also be seeing: arizona, new mexico, texas, oklahoma, a moon crater, and route 66.

loves,
