For those that don't know the whole story...
A while back (it may have even been at a meeting about 6 years back?) my nerderific husband and a friend of his in Brazil cooked up a plan where Mac would come down here to work with him for a little while. The main thing that had to happen was funding for the adventure. This past fall, Mac applied for and received a Fullbright fellowship (yeah!) to do research with his colleague here. That, plus some support from his job back home allowed the whole thing to happen. We found out about the Fullbright right before Christmas last year. Mac left for Brazil the first week of August, and the girls and I followed last week.
Where we are
We are now setting up our home for the next few months in Curitiba, Brazil-

It's not a small city, but it's not Rio or Sao Paulo, so not many people have heard about it.
Mac found us a temporary apartment will all the furnishings. In addition to furniture, it's got linens and all the kitchen stuff we need, so we haven't had to buy a lot to get set up.
I'll give you a tour. Kinda like House Hunters International.

Dining area, complete with unicorn tapestry
The girls' bedroom. The tiger came with the apartment.
Below, the master bath.
The hall bath, which has an enormous bathtub.
Did I mention that we are on the 21st floor?
