... had real ice CREAM!!! Tasted great.

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 ...

On Friday I e-mailed Renata about the patients for Monday. Not hearing from her or seeing her Monday morning, I began to wonder about her. So, I went to the lab and Cassia said that she was not well. Then I sent an e-mail for Nilvana to see if she could do the interviews, only to get a response from her that she is on vacation this week! I returned to the lab, and Juliana said that Renata called saying she may have appendicitis and was ...

For us who are living in the ocidental culture under capitalism rules, being out of work for 9 months, receive no income, pay for the regular monthly bills and also pay for the trip cost while travelling may be considered crazy for most people.

During the first half the U.S. scored two goals and my family blamed me! (jokingly of course) So, I was on the side of the U.S. However, in the second 45 minutes, Brasil came back and beat us 3-2. Great game, though!

So, it's the end of week 6, and I can’t believe how much time has flown by! I really need to get out of Campinas! This week was pretty much similar to the previous few weeks. We’ve been interviewing patients, and it was crazy how on Tuesday we had many patients and Friday none. Usually we have tons on Friday and very few on Tueday afternoons. Outside of interviews I’ve been working on polishing the database and trying to enter the SAS code I will need for the analysis. I ...

... are run by gas! Power’s back on…great! We continued to socialize in the kitchen and prepare. Power’s out again! This time for over an hour…the wind caused this to occur. So they lit candles so that we could see what we were doing. Mayra and I ...

So, yesterday, Paula, Marcello and I were talking about having me go to church on domingo. I still donŽt have a bus card, so someone would have to drive me. They did not know what time the Igreja Batista Centro started, so weŽd need to just drive by. This morning, I awoke and had breakfast with Marcello and Paula. We left for the church and arrived around ...

Our flight to Brazil was lengthy. Leaving from San Jose, CA, we connect through LAX and MIA. The flight was uneventful, except that we flew First-Class Coach. We got into Campinas at 9am. The airport was not as busy as I thought. Checking through the customs, four large flat screen TVs broacasting the 2008 Olympic games - women's volleyball game, Brazil vs. China ...
