The sun was just setting on the horizon and I could still see the glow of the multicolored stucco architecture that lined the narrow city streets just before the plane touched down. A friendly security guard at the airport approached me and kindly offered to help me purchase my first blue metro card and I was off to my new home in Campanha. I lugged all three of my suitcases off the metro and after almost two days of traveling and a broken wheel on one of my suitcases, I decided to take a taxi to the entrance of my dorm building even if it was close-by. It took about three minutes for me to arrive at my destination, which ended up being all of 100 yards from where I got off the metro. It had been a long day and what could I say, I just laughed and paid the taxi driver. "Obrigada!" I said, with a smile on my face, and headed to the front door. I was greeted with a warm welcome by the security guard at the front entrance of the WorldSpru Dormatory Building, which happened to be attached to the metro station, and was quickly introduced to the accommodations that would be home sweet home for the next month. I had finally arrived!Translation
