Lessons I Have Learned

One of the things that I have learned during my years in Brazil is that it is virtually impossible to visit a preschool without totally disrupting the class and rendering the poor teacher into a struggling sideshow, no matter how hard you might try. Bring out a camera, and you can kiss any remaining semblance of order goodbye. Since chaos is, in the end, totally inevitable, why bother even trying? Other than the crystalisation of this thought, it was good to get out of the office today for some visits in the town of Gravatá, 70km inland from Recife. Total cutie pies, no?
