Just checking in

I'm in Gramado, Brazil, in the southern state of Rio Grande del Sud--a region that didn't even make it into my Frommer's guide, but should have. I have more pictures from Poland to post, and some text about my visit with Ewa Michalek Drobik and her family, but will need to wait another day or two until I'm at a better computer to post the information.

Suffice it to say that the sun is shining in Brazil, my friends here are taking very good care of me, and they´re trying to kill me with good food! More later...
