Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday marks the end of the week. This week was not as productive as I would have liked, but it was not so bad.

Finally, in […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Today, I have to go to Copacabana to give a class to Dona Vera.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today was good and bad! First, I was alone, and being alone allowed me to do many things. When you are dead, it is difficult.
