Getting ready for Rio.

In a fortunate sequence of events, I was awarded a Fulbright research grant this past spring. Since then, I've been caught up with a bundle of other activities (graduation, World Cup, working...), but now that it's (essentially) a month before I start, I've started to refocus my efforts to getting ready.

After much perusal though the blogosphere and the vortex of the Internet, I decided to start a blog to provide my perspective on life as an American in Rio. While my viewpoint isn't exactly new-- being a Fulbrighter, and equipped with some heady journalism skills I picked up in college should make for an interesting read.
