I'm late!

Yes I'm late. I've been working in the school - Colegio Municipal dos Pescadores - for 6 weeks already but I'm only starting this blog today. It's not that I haven't felt the need to write about all this until today, on the contrary. It's that starting at the school has been rather overwhelming! The kids, the heat, the dirt, the mess, the lack of organisation... you'll understand what I mean soon, I'm afraid these will be recurring themes of this humble diary... which aspires only - I should really make this clear now - to serve as therapy for me, and to offer you a more regular and detailed update on my life here...
