I’m currently drinking my early cup of coffee on my rooftop deck in the morning sun and staring at the ocean. I have been living in my new apartment for almost a week. This is probably one of the nicest places I will ever live. It is what I picture a bachelor pad would be but instead of a young, rich, single Brazilian man that is tall dark and handsome living here its three girls doing research on their university study abroad.
I left Mama Josefa’s apartment on Wednesday morning and moved into the apartment with Carolyn and Callie, two of my friends from the program who are staying in Salvador during ISP period. Everything here has gone very smoothly and we are all appreciating our independence, rooftop patio with a view of the ocean, and our kitchen (which is also outdoors). The place is beautiful, open, and very airy. Being here is very calming. There are windows on all sides and the breeze drifts in. It is quiet and I love being on the top floor. When it’s sunny out we can sun on the deck and I love that there is never really a dress code, unlike in my homestay. I can eat at whatever time and cook my own food. We also have internet which is something new for me and has been a great ease. The apartment building also has several doormen who are very friendly and have taken to like us quite a bit. We are a fifteen minute walk from my favorite beach, Porto da Barra, and the bus stop is right outside the apartment building.
I have no complaints and I constantly think how lucky I am. Life is good.
