My first return to Brazil

Feet on Road
I went to Itaobim last Tuesday to visit my uncle Flavio and Lady. They build a wonderful house on their land and now they are living there. The other two houses in town are rented. God sake they have made lots of money. There are several little potteries in this area and bought some pots. Their pots are very beautiful and cheap. My father likes to accumulate every single thing for a long time. He is worse than me. Can you believe it? There is lots of stuff everywhere. Now he is placing stuff around his house in town as well as in his land. I cleaned the area around house and created a little garden. He went with me to a farm to collect cow?s poo(dung), good soil, sand and rocks for us to use in the garden. It was a long 35 degrees day. I did want to stop several times. I was going mad. I know that some of you thing that I am already mad! Anyway, my father is 67 now and he is quite strong and he did not stop. It put me under pressure. We finished this job 7 pm. It was so hard that during the day I wished that I had not start it. But, It was great to see that we have done. Roo and Stuart were laughing at me the whole day. I don?t think it was fear. I received the last two boxes of toys. I posted them before I come to Brazil. Edina?s and other toys from Centrelink were on these lot. I have already contact Barra Nova School and soon we will have a special morning to present all the toys for their kids. Saturday I am going to have lunch in Teofilo Otoni with Socorro. She was my former Team leader in the Education Department. Oh God, she was tuff! I don?t know way I always get them. She phoned me yesterday and I promised her that I would go there to visit her. Up to Monday my agenda is full on. So, I think that next Tuesday I will leave Padre Paraiso. I am planning to go back to BH to see my mother again. After that I will go to Goiania and Brasilia. Roo is still fine here. He loves this type of country live style. Stuart is getting bored and probably the best thing to maintain him happier is put our feet on the road again.
