It hardly seems real that one week ago today I was sitting on the Porto da Barra beach in Salvador, trying to figure out how to get some time alone with the incredibly hot Claudia and drinking agua de cocos like they were going out of style. Now I am sitting in my house in Portland, trying to sort everything out in my mind about the trip, what it all means and how I can incorporate it into my life now. I feel like a totally different person and guess that probably I am. I am definitely going to move down there next year. To be in that culture, city, climate, environment is something that I need in my life right now. It's been 8.5 years here in Portland and time now for change.
