It has been an incredible time, not just of learning, but also of rest! These 6 weeks in Portugal has been so freeing for me. There has not been the fear of getting mugged as I walk to school everyday, and life is just easier: Shopping for groceries, cooking, public transport, internet... I had forgotten how 'easy' life in a 1st world country can be! But I think that I'm all recharged and ready to take on living in a poor 3rd world nation again!
I have learnt loads and am excited about going to put my language into practice. Of course there is still lots I dont know (it takes longer than just 6 weeks to learn a language), but I have a good foundation now that I can continue to build on.
Life in Pemba should be easier now that I know Portuguese better... at least I hope it is!
