What Does it Mean?

Okay, so a while back, I posted my What I Would Like to Accomplish in the Next Nine Months List. To recap, the list consisted of:

The A List

☺ Trekking to Serra da Capivara, an archeological site waaaaay in the interior of the state of Piaui;

☺ Relaxing at Praia da Pipa, a fabled beach in the state of Rio Grande do Norte;

☺ Snorkling in the waters of Fernando de Noronha again;

☺ Sipping one more espresso under the ginormous fig tree at Figueira Rubaiyat in Sao Paulo;

☺ Finally learning how to dance Frevo;

☺ Eating ridiculous amounts of macaxeira frita - fried manioc;

The B List

☺ Trekking through the Chapada Diamantina in the State of Bahia;

☺ Visiting Salvador one more time; and

☺ Dancing with the bumbas of Maranhao one more time.

So that was back in February. Since then, I have been to Salvador not once, not twice, but soon to be three times and eaten lots of manioc. Everything else remains fairly elusive until now. It's time to get serious! My nine months are now down to two and a half due to natural progression as well as a bit of timewarping. Ack!
