Welcome back to my international travels journal 2.0. For those of you unfamiliar with my trip to South Korea two years ago, check out shameless plug #1.
This trip follows three University of Michigan students: Ben Sward, Matt DiTullio, and myself as we journey through airports to spend 13 weeks of our summer (their winter) working at INACE in Fortaleza, Brazil. Before you take pity on us for leaving a midwest summer for the dead of a summer hemisphere winter, do keep in mind that the average temperature in Fortaleza right now is the mid 80's... not too shabby. As one more piece of logistics before we get onto the usual sarcastic posts with hints at humorous racism rooted in cultural ignorance, I also want to include shameless plug #2 for Matt's blog.

| Brady the Traveling Wolverbear |
Although I introduced Matt and Ben, I think it's now appropriate to introduce my final traveling companion: Brady the Traveling Wolverbear pictured to the right. As we travel he will accumulate formal business titles and more areas of expertise. If you can't figure out why we named him Brady, here's shameless plug #3.
Right now Ben just strolled up to me in the Columbus airport wielding book bag and skateboard in traditional Benjarvian fashion.
I acknowledge that this isn't really witty or funny yet so we'll work on that as more interesting things happen. I'll try to get back on when we're in ATL to blog about Step 2: ATL ==> BSB.
Until next time,
-David Rood
