Bem Vindo!

For the next nine months I will be living in Brazil as part of the Fulbright Program (an international educational exchange that is part of the US Department of State). I’ve decided that a blog is the best way to give everyone general updates on what’s going on down here. My goal is to update a couple of times a month; writing about life and work down here. I’ll try and include some things that give a taste of Brazilian culture, lifestyle, and politics. After all, the Fulbright is a cultural exchange program as well.
