Arrival

Well it's been a while coming but I am finally here (Florianopolis, Brazil). For those of you who are clueless and didn't realize that I was even going to Brazil (that right!... I'm looking at you imaginary ball of tumbleweed that occasionally rolls across the ground behind me when I whistle songs fit for cowboy gunfight duels) I have come here as part of a program at the International Institute for Sustainable Development. I'll have another blog for them which I will reference here. Those who are interested in the cool going-ons of my daily work can check that blog, but I want this one to be more for people who just want updates about me and are willing to put up with endless TV/Movie references and any ridiculous thought that goes through my head. For all my fans at Facebooks' "People Who Can't Get Enough of Mike's Crazy Antics" I will generally send out reminders to keep you guys in the look but to avoid duplication I will likely just link you to this site.

As for my first post I will take a few pics to give you a visual on what I'm dealing with and to extinguish the idea that this has all been an elaborate hoax. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have started that rumour in the first place... I really don't see how that could have possibly worked in my favor (single tear) ;(









I also added this non-interactive movie for you to not interact with.

I think that that is more than enough for today. I'll explain to you how I got here later when I am less hungry and tired. Now I hunt.
