November 25, 2011 - Part 2

The church in Maceio where Rev. D preaches.


These pictures are from the school which is next door.
Here are three different versions of Pilgrim's Progress in Portuguese. 
Don't you love it? "O Pequino Peregrino" - "A Little Pilgrim"

The church from the outside with Juan Calvino next door.

A mall in Maceio - they must look the same everywhere. 


Looks the same don't you think?

An indoor skating rink!!

The food court - the food was pretty yucky here and expensive. 

This is a "flower" a young boy made for me in Maragogi.  I kept telling him I had no money and I was quite upset about it - Rev. V. kindly gave me some Reals (pronounced Hay I ) to give the little guy. 
I really shouldn't have worried so much about it because as soon as he had the extra cash he went and bought a pop for himself.   Starving - no.  Industrious - yes.


A jelly fish like the one that stung Rev. V. later in the day.  When he was screaming we thought he was horsing around as is his character.  I told him that he shouldn't joke about these things (in a joking way) but when he didn't stop yelling we realized he was serious.  Apparently (and I can say this as a witness) it hurts like the dickens for about an hour and then just leaves a nasty whip-type wound. 

The absolutely gorgeous beach in Maragogi we stopped at on the way to home base in Recife.
After my thigh cramped up in the back of the pick-up truck - this one hour swim in the ocean was most welcome and very relaxing.  The water felt like a luke warm bath tub and lulling waves were dream-like.




sigh...what a great memory.

A cousin shot.

Suzanna enjoying the surf.

For one hour we felt like we were on a holiday together and it was so relaxing!!!
It was almost four o'clock and you can tell that the sun is already going down. 


As you can see we drove the pick up almost right up to the beach- isn't that awesome???


A place people would have beach parties in.

One last shot before we left.
Good-bye ocean - you are so beautiful!!!
Water can be so healing. 
My leg did not bother me again for the rest of the trip - thank you LORD!!
