and the task of the day is...

hello again from the casa of ricardo and loiva (i finally figured out how to spell it!). today was a day much like all the others which i have e xperienced this week. i stood around a tub filled with water, chlorine and bottles and washed them. i was in really good spirits for the majority of the day; we found a radio station that was tollerable and not polka. it was "pop e roque"it played everything from rhiana to the romones with a good dose of reggae. im becoming a big fan of portuguese rock and especially reggae! so good.
anyway, all this constant, unending bottle washing has been wearing me down. i was feeling pretty sad and over it by the end of the day. i thought the idea of WWOOf was the spread and sharing of knowledge. what the fuck am i learning? im feeling like really inexpensive labor at this point. can a girl get a little variety around here? it's frustrating. ricardo said something about not washing tomorrow so we'll see if that pans out. if i spend another week washing bottles, there is a good chance im going to bid this family farewell.
loiva keeps asking me if luis and i like fiestas. everytime she asks me she's not quite sure i understand. of course i do! fiestas are universal! anyway, based upon the half of which i could understand i think there might be a party, along with a brazilian barbeque, this saturady. im excited, i haven't gotten off the property much and, as much as i like chatting with joao pedro the four year old, i would enjoy meeting some new people.
i shall bid you adios and relinquish the computer to luis who has been waiting oh so patiently. boa noite!
