Ta Fixe

We spent the day on board the BP fishing boat 'Ta Fixe' and had a blast!  We caught a total of 3 huge Dorado (aka Mahi Mahi) and then spent a few hours on Mussulo Beach.  Not a bad way to spend the last day of 2011.

I feel like I'm making some progress.  I took all 3 kids grocery shopping yesterday, and managed to not only survive, but also order everything I needed from the deli counter - speaking only Portuguese!  I still have SOOOO much to learn, but I'm getting pretty proficient at understanding the basics, and making myself understood.

I hope the new year brings more learning, adapting, and thriving for us here, and for everyone else.
