Rio Gringa

When I remember that I registered for a conference that involves getting up early on a Saturday

Discovering how many documents and IDs my husband needs to renew his Brazilian passport—ranging from proof of voting records to his birth certificate and the name of the cartório where his birth certificate was notarized

When my husband chats with West African cabbies and he tells them he’s from Brazil

When there’s a long line to get coffee in the morning

Waking up early on the first day back at work after winter break

When someone asks if I know how to code emails

When I get a call from a number I don’t recognize

How Brazilian tourists see Woodbury Commons

How I see Woodbury Commons

When someone tries to have a conversation with me before 10 a.m.

When it’s Friday at 6pm after an incredibly stressful week
