Meanwhile, back home

Things Adam Forgot in the States

1. The digital camera (but remembered the peripherals)
2. The other half of the printer power cord (but can use Chris's laptop's power cord in the meanwhile)
3. USB thumb drives (side note: the Brazilian term for this is "thumb drive;" they haven't made a point to aportuguesar it yet)
4. Non-windbreaker jacket
5. New business cards
6. Photos of family and friends to show to curious Brazilians
7. Birth certificate (in case of lost passport)
8. Prescription antibiotics for food poisoning woes
9. Sewing/patch kit
10. More than one jar of peanut butter

Things Adam Remembered to Bring

1. All the unimportant stuff
2. The laptop
3. Anti-malaria pills

Julianna would love to send you a care package- let us know what you need and where to send. She keeps asking when Adam is coming to play penguinos every time she puts on her happy feet underwear and I am having a hard time explaining the concept of a year to her.

I'm also having difficulty with the concept of a year. Although homesickness has been limited; I haven't broken down and eaten the peanut butter yet.
