And Off I Go

This is it, last post in this hemisphere. I leave at 10:00 pm tomorrow, April 9th.

In a fortuitous twist of fate, I was able to get my visa yesterday. There were problems getting it (there have been many thus far) but I was able to get it same day whereas normally it takes 2 days. Now that I have my visa I have everything I need to go to Brazil. I'm mostly packed, have all the documentation, and my housing is all lined up. After so much preparatory bullshit it's coming as a shock to me that I'll actually be in Brazil on Thursday.

Not much else to say really. I should be in São Paulo by 8:50 am on April 10 and in Campinas by noon.

Bye!
