... had real ice CREAM!!! Tasted great.<br><br>We then went toward IBIS hotel and I met Carol2. What a doll. They all helped me get checked into a room. I was staying many days and just had enough money to pay for 3 days. They explained this to the hotel staff and we all knew I could fulfill my obligations later once I got paid. I felt secure!! The Hotel was great. Lots of smiles and there was a "safe" for me to store my passport, my gifts, and money ...

... home to Jau. Wow! No interviews this week!<br><br>Then after talking with Miquela on msn, I began to wonder why I couldn't do them myself. No one else is around, so why not? Later that afternoon I practiced with Carol and felt better prepared for Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around and 2 of 4 of my patients arrived. I did them both! One went really well, but the other I think did not understand the questions very clearly, and I was not ...

Today after church I went on the internet and saw where the US was supposed to play Brasil in the Federation's Cup in soccer. Now, I don&#8217;t watch soccer, but this was the US&#8217;s first time there and they were not favored to win (of course). So, I decided to watch the game. I didn&#8217;t really know who to root for because these past few weeks I ...

Spent three weeks in Porto in the end: thought it was only 2 until it came to checking of the hostel! I guess time flies when you´re having fun. Went diving, or had lesson, nearly every day. Completed my Basic Open Water, Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air Diver courses. Porto boasts these coral reefs that create natural pools filled with really pretty fish, and also a great environment to learn in ...

... krapjes was, en een flinke vertraging op Schiphol zorgde er dan ook voor dat we onze aansluiting in Portugal misten. Niet getreurd, want TAP-air betaalde onze overnachting in het centrum van Lissabon en we hebben het er daar nog maar even goed van genomen. Al met al een leuk extraatje dus. De volgende dag, fris gedoucht en lekker geslapen, stapten we alsnog in het vliegtuig naar Recife. Een hoop gedoe en gegier onder het vliegtuig verder stegen we met nog eens twee ...

... the small cities. We drove through all kind of cities and villages to see the rich houses and the poor ones which are sometimes just made of mud or palmleaves or only like a tent. But the people even if they are very poor take care of themself and enjoy there life as much as they can. When we reached Maragogi we escaped of the full van and entered very ...

... leaves decorated the floor. I took two steps here and realized the plants were aquatic plants. I was to my knees in mud and gross, brown water. Eww! I wanted to turn back, but I realized this was the adventure I was waiting for. I had to reach that hill, even if I had to swim with my backpack over my shoulders to get there. I continued walking until the mud was to my knees and the water was to my thighs. With evey step, I had to struggle to have my foot and sandal back from the mud ...

... of tiny, grey flying fish. I took the next bus to visit Sula. She laughed when I said, "'to doente," (I'm sick) thinking I had caught her "grippe." Sula was still sick herself, but, by whining lots and being the bigger baby, I convinced her to take care of me. So, she made me six eggs for dinner, rubbed lotion on me, and made fried bananas wrapped in pancakes the next morning for a delicious breakfast. So nice to have a girlfriend. Ciao, Modern Oddyseus
