Howdy from Brazil! We just wanted to let everyone know we aren't dead yet! Actually we have had a really busy week with Rotary meetings almost every evening. They start at 8(ish) and last til 10:30(ish). We are picked up from our host homes sometimes as early as 1-1&1/2 hours before in order to reach the location in time due to the traffic! So we often don't arrive home till almost midnight. Then we have to start over the next morning and be picked up at 7(ish). This all started on May 17th, my birthday!!
The 1st 4 pics are of our RCSP-Santana meeting. They treated us to samba dancing for my birthday! What a fun evening!
Next is RCSP-Vila Alpina. William was a team member to our district in April. He's standing with a lovely young woman who was a Rotary Exchange student from this club to Bolivia (if I remember correctly.) She gave the program about her experiences. She didn't speak English, but spoke Spanish, so I was able to talk with her. It's so wonderful how we are able to communicate in some way through a combination of languages!
The next pic is of me and Rhonda at the RC Botucatu-Cuesta.
As you can see, we haven't had time to blog because we are having such wonderful experiences! We are currently in Aquas de Lindoas, a lovely little resort town in the mountains, famous for its magic thermal waters. We are participating in the District Conference and gave our big presentation to the Rotarians Friday night. We added a song at the end where we all grabbed people out of the audience and taught them to 2 step! We were a huge hit!!
Everyone but Vanessa and me are still at the Governor's Ball, but I will let them fill you in on that later. Also, I plan to blog about my vocational experiences soon.
