We are a little behind on the blog but spending so much wonderful time with our hosts, we dobn´t want to spend in on the computer.
Monday the team visited different vocational sites, Teri went to the Federal University of Minas Gerais, I think with Heitor. And the hospital affiliated with it. Off to lunch and met Donaldo and his daughter. Then to Colegio de Jose Ferriro (sp), the wonderfully impressive school where Anna and Marcelo teach. Wow, we have never seen a school like it. Back to the ExpoZebu to meet with the director of community development for MG. And a quiet night at the shopping mall drinking and talking to friends.
Tuesday we all had a tour of the Museu of Xico Xavier the famous medium, very interesting. A quick visit to a bell foundry. And lunch at a churrascaria. Mike and Teri visited Heitor´s program, Cantanto Dominincanos, a high school program for at-risk teens. They asked many great questions. That night we presented to the Rotary Club and celebrated with them Mother~s Day and a farewell dinner for us. We had the opportunity to thank our wonderful new family in Uberaba.
Weds. Short drive to Frutal. A visit to a cervejeria and some samples, ;-) Tonight we present to one of the Rotary Clubs of Frutal.
WOW . . . you are very busy! It is no wonder you are a little behind. Looks like you are getting a great introduction to some different educational facilities. How did your presentation go at the Rotary Club? Are you getting more fluent in your Portuguese? Have you found a favorite native dish yet? Take care in your travels! A cervejeria . . . hmmm!
ReplyDeleteI´m sure that you´ll love Frutal. Josney is a great fellow.
