Patricia-thanks so much for keeping in touch. All is overcast and foggy here in Davis as well. Furloughs have been depressing and a real hardship to staff and students (suffering fewer class offerings and higher tuition). Christmas to New Year was basically an enforced break for all but also a blessing. We all needed time off to heal and rest.
The students are now back and the town bustles with their activity. Hopefully, 2010 will continue to see recovering economy and brighter futures for all. Happy New Year! Best wishes. Twanda
Oi Fabi You don't know how much I love the fact that you always keep in touch and voice your opinions about my blogs. It feels like if we were chatting ther in London!
Detroit's situation is so ambivalent. It had it all and it crashed hard. it has been going down for a long time but no doubt it current crisis has hit it the hardest. But like in Brazil, wealth is still present as well, for a minority. Com um abraco da prima.
All shades of colors... Unfortunatelly not all shades of colors reflect pretty realities at all times. But so is life, and as long as we make the most of it, it's all good in the end. Thanks for your comment.
Oi prima, gostei muito da sua mensagem. fico feliz de voce ter suas esperancas e energia redobradas ai em Detroit. segundo um dos meus tutors em Geografia, e o estado q esta mais sofrendo com a Globalizacao e agora c/ a crise economica do US/mundo, e pensar q um dia esse estado foi tao importante e contribui tanto para a US economy. aqui um artigo antigo da bbc, mas muito interessante: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6346299.stm eu acho q sua presenca ai e importante para levar as suas cores (true colours shining through.. como diz Cindy Lauper), seu sorriso e sua alegria! bjao Fabi

Me, a writer????!!!!!! Oi Neno
The suggestion you gave me to write a book has been given to me by some other friends. I feel humbled by the thought of it, and I confess I have thought about it some. However, I don't feel ready (yet), first because I don't see myself as a writer (yet) and also due to the lack of time. OBRIGADA pela sugestao/incentivo, fico certo de que a idea (continuara) a ser considerada.
Beijo grande.
Ëterna Cunca"
Vendo seu e-mail,me veio uma idéia!.Porque vc não transforma suas experiências em um livro?
Dizer o que?O que as suas viagens para fora tem lhe transformado para dentro,entendeu?
Beijo.

Hi Rich Well, form a girl from the tropics who lives in florida, it's cold enough. But, Montreal is beautiful, the sky has been blue, and exploring the city has been a joy. Unfortunately Quebec City will have to be explored next time. Thanks for your comment.
Patricia
Cold? Hello there...
You are from Alagoas...this is wonderful. Please do not talk about the cold. It is not bitterly cold at all. Wait until January. THAT is cold!
Made it to Maceio once...then to RG do Norte.
Make sure you see Quebec City. Spend time there.
Um beijo e Boa Sorte!!!
Rich.

I'm a Brazilian and long time resident of the US.
I've always been fascinated by cultural diversity and I've had the opportunity to travel overseas over the years. 2005, however, brought me the "wings" to fly solo and further away. I started these new jorneys with Tibet (picture). That's huge for someone who used to panic ... full info
