Everything is going great in Recife!  My host family is wonderful, very warm and accomodating.  They have taken me to the beach, to a concert, shopping, all in my first three days!  This evening we are going to my first soccer game (Go Nautico!)  I will, of course, be supporting my host familys favourite team.  They told me I could leave otherwise (theyre kidding, I think.)  My portuguese is getting a lot better.  I probably know about 80 words now.  Thanks again to the Rotary club for this opportunity.  If anyone wants to email me, my address is gocatherine@hotmail.com

Tchau! (Goodbye for now!)
Catherine
