Velejando no lago Folsom, aqui em Sacramento
Zeglowanie na jeziorze Folsom "po Polsku" - z Marcinem, Dorota, Leszkiem, Kuba i Rexa (pies)

Test-drive - Smart FourTwo

Ja ouviu falar do Smart? O carro mais "fofo" do mundo.. heheh Ano que vem vao comecar a vender aqui nos EUA (tudo bem.. ja vendem na Europa desde 1998) entao eu e o Kuba fomos dar uma olhada.

Have you heard of Smart? The "cuttest" car of the world... hehe Next year they will be sold in the USA (ok.. we know Europeans are bored with it already). Kuba and I went to check it out.


e depois de 5 anos...

Venla - SF one more time...

Venla and me in SF... Venla's sister Noora, from Finland, was an exchange student at the Pfaff's house in 1992. Now she is back to the States and came to visit us.

Eu e a Venla em San Francisco. A irma da Venla, a Noora da Finlandia, foi uma intercambista na casa dos Pfaff em 1992. Agora ela veio pros EUA e deu uma passadinha pra visitar a gente.

SF e Lake Tahoe.... hmmmmmm

Eu nunca me canso de San Francisco. Bom, digamos que eu ODEIO o frio que faz la, mas a cidade eh taaaaaaaao bonita e tem muitas coisas pra fazer. Eu dei sorte que Sacramento eh pertinho de San Francisco e a gente pode ir la sempre que da. Da pra ver a Golden Gate de 1000 angulos diferentes.. e toda vez que eu vejo eh como se fosse a primeira vez....

I cannot get tired of San Francisco. Well, let's say I HATE the cold weather but the city is sooo pretty and there is so much to do. I am fortunate that Sacramento is close enough to SF so that I can visit whenever I want. There are 1000 different views of the Golden Gate bridge.. and every time I see it, it is like the first time...

Cyro in California

O meu irmao mais novo veio me visitar no final de Junho e pelo visto ele adorou a California. Na verdade a gente levou o Cyro pra fazer varias coisas que ele nunca tinha feito antes: acampar, windsurf, canoagem, rafting entre outros. Ele ate jogou badminton! hehehe
Kuba e Cyro no Emerald Bay State Park em Lake Tahoe onde fomos acampar.

My younger brother came to visit us at the end of June. He really enjoyed his time in California, specially shopping. Actually, Cyro did many activities he had never done before in Brazil such as camping, windsurfing, canoeing, rafting and others. He even played badminton.

many things happened...

Muitas coisas mudaram desde a ultima vez que eu escrevi aqui. Eu achei que depois da formatura que eu teria muuuito tempo de sobra, mas ainda nao tive. Esse mes eu comecei a trabalhar numa empresa de biotecnologia aqui na California. Por enquanto eu to gostando de la.. hehe mas o uniforme... PUTZ! Sem comentarios ne? Fora que tiraram essa foto as 6 da manha. Ninguem merece!
A lot of things changed since last time I updated the blog. I thought that after graduation I was going to have a whole lot of time for myself. That has not happened yet. In the mean time, I started working for a biotechnology company here in California. So far I like it. But the uniform... SERIOUSLY!! And this picture was taken at six in the morning. Give me a break, okay?! Ah tambem conhecemos um pessoal novo e achamos mais um parceiro pro Windsurf. O Marcin (Polaco tambem!) a gente conheceu um dia que fomos pro lago. O Kuba ouviu o cara falar polones e ja foi cutucar o ombro dele... heheh

We also met some new people and we found a new windsuring buddy! Marcin is also Polish and we met him by the lake one day. Kuba heard him speaking polish and went to talk to him.
Tambem fomos no aniversario da April, a filhinha de um ano da Kelly e do Chris.
We also went to April's first birthday party (daughter of Kelly and Chris).
