lost in translation
My portuguese is awful. I'm learning but until then I speak portunal. Which is half spanish and half portuguese with an american twist. Luckily, brazilians are very willing to help understand me. They are also very direct on the phone. Tonight I called the front desk with a question and after trying to speak portuguese I gave in and spoke english. They transfered me and the the man answering, in a nice voice said, "What do you want, Lady?" I laughed because if you said that in the US it wouldn't come out so nicely. I love Brazilians.

Good Luck I hope you guys get the apartment.
Hi! It was great spending a little time with you in NY. I hope you adjust to life in Brazil. I am sure you will. I love the Brazilian people!
And the rest of the story is . . . when does the furniture arrive, or will you be camping out? And on the language issue -- just let the children translate for you.
I wish your family all the luck. So excited about the Glover's new adventure.
boa sorte pra voces!
