Are we supposed to be working?



Although this trip has been almost non-stop learning, there has been a lot of fun involved. We took a boat to Fire Island in the middle of the Rio Sao Francisco and just relaxed.
The visit to the workshop of the man who makes the masks for carneval in Caruaru was an amazing and unexpected treat. There will be no way we can possibly thank the Rotarians of District 4500 for their many kindnesses.

  1. Dear GSE friend,

    How've you been? I hope you are doing fine and enjoying your stay around here. Today, I am back to work and cannot be with you, unfortunately. I am sad it was not possible to meet on Sunday due to communication problems. The people in charge told me I should meet you at the handicraft open air market downtown at ten o'clock and spend the rest of the day with you. I got there and no one showed up. I called one of the Rotarians in charge and she told another Rotarian had taken you to a different place (Jucazinho Dam for a boat ride). I hope you enjoyed it though it was a bit rainy. This kind of thing is part of the GSE adventure, also. Anyway, It was a great pleasure to know you and have a chance to show a little bit of my country. I had the best impression possible of your country and I am here to try to give a good impression of mine.
    Congratulations for you team, enjoy the rest of your stay in Brazil and have a safe trip back home!!

    TAKE CARE AND BEST WISHES FROM A BRAZILIAN FRIEND!!!!

    PS: It was not possible to get Leslie's and Emily's cards. So, would you please pass on this message to them? (I don't have their emails)
