One week in….
I can't believe only a week has gone by since I arrived in Brazil.

Sunday Nov 7
This morning I woke up at 5 and was hungry. I don't think my stomach is fully adjusted to the time zone. So I got up and now I'm eating Special K red berries. yum. It's nice having a mini kitchen in the room so I don't have to eat on base. Base is pretty cool. I've always liked them but living on them is a great experience. The base is split up into two sides the U.S. side and the Japanese side.
