My husband and I have lived in Brazil for over a decade now, and we can't imagine returning to the States. Doesn't mean we don't appreciate all that America has done for us.

There are risks, uncertainties, frustrations . . . but as you read through my tropical daydreams, see if you don't agree that the rewards are worth it.
