So we've been at the boys home a week and a half. There's not a lot to say so far other than what you've already heard from Josh. Things are starting to get back to their normal routine, but until the kids go back to school tomorrow we won't really know what that's like.
I guess what I can say about this place is that I can't really compare it to the other homes because the entire structure of this place is completely different from the first to places. There are some things that seem better that was going on at CLM and there are somethings that seem to be better here.
One thing that has taken a little more adjusting is the culture difference. CLM Entre Rios was pretty much a slice of America in the middle of a German Colony. CLM Turvo was somewhat influenced by Entre Rios and we really didn't get into the town much. The Boys Home is a brazilian boys home run by brazilians in the middle of a very brazilian state. All I can say is that I'm glad I took my brothers advice and started at Entre Rios.
We've been adjusting to things and have been getting to know some of the boys. We've been working with them and played soccer a couple times and spent a good deal of time just hanging out with them. It's been fun figuring out what their different personalities are.
Today we went to the home of Kevin's former Portuguese teacher with Kevin and family. We did some swimming and eating. It was a pretty good experience and I was ready for it to be done.
Well… I don't really have much more to talk about and I haven't taken any pictures here except a few of Parrots… So I won't post any. Sorry folks… Maybe next time.
