Oi,  Hello.
 We completed our mission at the Chain of Love in Campo Bom.   Three weeks went by very quickly.  We are glad that we could complete the work requested and even more as we were able to spend time with the families getting to know them.

A few tears and a lot of hugs from our friends and it was off to the airport.
 Last night we landed in Rio de Janeiro.  After a good night's sleep we relaxed for the morning and then headed to the centre of the city for a tour.

The Museum of National History was very interesting and we gained a better understanding of the history of Brazil.  Very inexpensive to visit, although it takes a long time to get anywhere when you are in a city of 13 million,. yes, that's what I said.
After the museum we took a wander downtown,  (guided of course).  Architecturally this city is amazing.  there are a lot of buildings from the 1900's.  And we even saw a building with a date of 1772.  And we think that we have history.  However, there is a lot of grafitti marring the beauty of this place.

Now time to relax a bit before go out for dinner at 9 PM.  vida brasileira.  não, é?  Brazilian life, eh?

Having some problems posting pictures.

Rick, Jean and Ross.
