3 Months

I received a comment that my updates were lagging this week. There is (of course) a good reason – our sea crate arrived Monday, we have been unpacking all week long. The movers were able to get all but 4 items from the sea crate into the surprisingly tiny service elevator and up to our apartment. So what to do with the other 4 items? Send them back to US, sell them here? Not necessary, the moving company informed us that they had haulers to get this type of job done. Maybe the haulers were some sort of crane devices? Not the case. After lunch break was over, in walks your typical 4th and goal linemen equipped with only a bag, two ropes and a piece of cardboard. A few of the guys came in just for this job and were not part of the moving crew that was assisting us earlier in the day. The rest is history, see for yourself. Just another common practice down here in Brazil…

Anyway, it had been exactly 3 months that we lived without our stuff – it’s nice to finally have a home!
