I may be mistaken, but I believe this is my first Thanksgiving outside the US. It's very strange.
I want everything in the States to just stay the way it was when I left (in terms of people), but I know that's not possible. Coming to terms with the fact that things will change tremendously (and some things not at all) will take some time.
My Portuguese continues to improve, especially my comprehension. I seem to do real well when I can set the context of the conversation.
I have lots to talk about, but only so much time (and only so many things I CAN talk about).
Peace
John
