Today was a rest day. No one was at the work site. I am unable to post any photos because this blog is not allowing it at this time.
Bill and I spent alot of time talking, kidding, and sharing with our host family. We also worked on preparing gifts that we will be giving tomorrow before we leave. All of our notes needed to be interpreted on paper and Rudson spent alot of time on that task.
The girls pampered me with another pedicure and manicure! Later in the afternoon Evaldo and Cida took us for a walk in a beautiful large park downtown. It was quite tropical both in appearance and temperature (100 degrees at 5pm). We saw many small monkeys in the woods and a variety of plants and trees.
The big election for mayor of Cuiaba is tomorrow (Sunday). During our time here there has been considerable campaigning with loud speakers from cars, people waving flags, and fireworks. Each of the candidates has their own theme song and we now know those by heart. It sounds like Mendes #22 (each candidate has a #) may be better for the Dr Fabio community.
Last night Bill shared at the men´s tea and I shared at a women´s tea. It seemed to go pretty well we think, maybe ...
Tonight there was a farewell church service. It was quite touching for all of us. The people that we have met here have been the most amazing people. They have sure been a blessing to us.
Giovanni (Joe Funny) has a message for Dave Parham: He misses you and has not forgotten you. You are living in his heart and you were a blessing to him.
