sad day

---

Today was a sad day for us here because the team from lethbridge went home. The place seems empty because its just the 4 of us here now.
We didnt get a whole bunch done today, we had decided to go into porto alegre to see the team off at the airport.
After we got back to the campus we headed down town to see if we could find some stuff. Nunes the volunteer coordinator here drove us around and we experience a brazilian bank for the first time. WOW, they have major security to get thru, almost makes the airport security seem slack.
Then you had to take a number, can you imagine.... Nunes´ # was 241, and the count was 199. So almost an hour later he was finished and we headed out again.

So now that its a little quieter around here with not so many people wanting to email home we thought we would post a couple more pictures.

I´m sure alot of you are curious what the new death toll is .... well I must say its been a really quiet week in the whole cockroach saga. Praise the Lord!
We did buy more spray though as we were almost all out, at least we know that the brazilian stuff works as well as the stuff we brought.

Please keep in touch, we love hearing from home
