I had so much I wanted to post on in the past few weeks...

the Boston "bomb" scares
my first good Carnaval experience
what it's like to sweat so much you feel your body is evaporating
about the quirky character's I've seen (an elderly woman proudly sporting a pair of marijuana leaf earrings, for one!)
how I ran into a bunch of old friends in Lapa the other day

But when I sit down to type, I realize that the last thing I want to do is sit with a hot computer on my lap when I could be taking my sixth shower of the day. Or that I can't think when my brain is being fried. Things like that.

So please forgive my lack of blogging recently. You'd be having a hard time too, if you were living here!
