Violence in the streets



Surely many of you have heard about the attacks against the police here in Sao Paulo over the weekend. It has many here concerned, although most feel that the police are in control of the situation overall. School was disrupted this morning by the fact that many buses were not running (as buses seem to have been a target) but other than that we haven't been affected by it all.

We are all safe and doing well. We thought we heard gun shots on Sunday, but they sound so much like the fireworks that we hear all the time that it's really hard to tell.
