a gosto de Deus...

Back when Mark and I were just dating, he told me a funny story about a gosto and Agosto. In Brazil, they use the saying, "a gosto de Deus..." or "to God's liking." It also sounds like the month of August. So, if you're clever or like word-plays, when someone asks you a question of timing you can respond a gosto and leave them guessing.

...And that, is my introduction explaining the lack of posts here on the Portuguese blog. I was a gosto-ing it. Or, was I Agosto-ing it...

The end of July did get away from me, though. Instead of spending time with Rosetta Stone, I spent the time celebrating 3 years of marriage with my love! We had a great weekend away. We even saw some Brazilian animals at the zoo! It was fun to see capybaras, a toucan, and macaws (but, it was more fun to see them in the zoo we visited for our last anniversary--in Brazil!) So, even though I wasn't studying, I was enjoying Brazilian things :)

August will be another crazy month, so I'll leave you with a picture of my last study session. Here's to September when I can study again!

I've been using Mom Rachel's books from Brazil. They even smell like Brazil!
 I am looking forward to visiting this October!
