Regroup and Move Out!

The past few days we have been trying to regroup from the many adventures we have had. We washed our clothes, read our assigned essays, wrote journals and blogs and tried to relax. The doctor ordered a dose of The Amazing Spider-Man, so we went and watched it yesterday for about $4.50 on a Friday night because students get half off in Brazil. I loved the movie and it was funny to see how they translated some phrases in the subtitles.
 But today we hit the road again and we are in João Pessoa, Paraíba! It is the furthest east point in the Americas (go check out a map!). Brazilians say the sun is born here and moves westward. We are traveling by bus but this time there were no small buses so we have a 40 person bus for 21 people. Yeah, we are really comfy.
We arrived at the hotel and spent the afternoon at the beach. I worked on a super sand castle project with Joe, Jonathan and Sara Boyack.


The boy that is helping us is a local and his name is Wellington. So we called him the Duke of Wellington. Here is a link if you didn't understand that one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Wellesley,_1st_Duke_of_Wellington
We had a nice dinner at the Praia da Jacaré where they had live music. We just got back and are starting crash. Or maybe we will play a game. It was a fun day. Tomorrow we will go to church and then move on to Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Elder Bruno, we used to play chess games together when we were living in Paranoá lives there so I hope to meet up with him.
