As promised here are some photos of the new apartment we are signing on! Nate picked it out and I have never seen the place. I didn't want to drag Belle back to Rio because she had a little cough and congestion. He loves it though. I trust his opinion and from the places that we have already looked at together in Rio and this place looks so much better from the photos alone.

Sorry for the crooked picture but Nate was excited- In Brazil these machines are very rare and
I have never seen one in real life :) |
On to the apartment itself! I believe that it's roughly 1800sq ft. with 3 bedrooms/4 bath with a maid's quarters including a room and sink area. The apartment comes completely bare but we have asked that they put in light fixtures for us and we will provide the rest.

| The kitchen... I am downgrading from what I am used to here! |

The living room. Nate took measurements and it will fit all of our
furniture which we had shipped from the US 2 years ago. |

I am so excited to move into the new place. Right now I am trying to go through the house and pick up so random things and get rid of other stuff. Ya know the old magazines that you collect and other knicknacks! Nate will do all the moving in and facilitating our movers.
The company covers our move so guys will come to our house and pack everything. I mean everything... all Nate will have to do is watch carefully and cross his fingers things go well. Then they move everything to Rio and unpack- we unpacked the first time around so I am not sure if we will decided to do it again or not.
When we did this the first time around our whole place was packed and ready to move in less than 8 hrs... I was absolutely amazed and shocked. I really believe that here in Brazil, the same amount of furniture, will take 2 full days. I hope that I am pleasantly surprised. Also, I am thankful for insurance! All of our furniture was stuff we both had from college and first year out of college. The sea air has ruined most of it so if it breaks in the move I will gladly take cash for it!!
Not sure when the move will take place but we guesstimate around mid December before Nate returns to the US. This means that I only have to live in Macae for another 3 days- omg. I just realized how little time I have left! Crap. I have to tell Claudia tomorrow what is going on.
Ok. Off to make lists of things to get done in the next 3 days!
Tchau,
Sara
Sara, it looks amazing! It's going to be better than before in Macae. It's Not really about the apartment but your going to be happier with all the options of rio. Food! Stores and entertainment! Have a save trip home!
