  • Miracema

    January 10, 2016 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Today we have arrived in Miracema a small farming city, but this is what we have come to see " The real Brazil"
    After our reunion with our friends we were taken back to the family home. I think scousers are friendly, but this put things on a whole new level. Then in the evening we acccompanied Bea to the church where she helps underpriveliged kids find God, although not religious this experience has actully blown me away, upto 100 children come from all over the city and unite but the affection and love that is shared in this room you can really overwhelm you. Most of the children had never met anyone form outside of the city let alone another country so WE WERE LIKE MOVIE STARS !!!!!! These children are amazing and my hope is that none of them fall to the wayside as a lot of them really have amazing characters yet don't have a pot to piss in. After our power prayers we were picke up by Aldo and his friends who took us to Padwa to eat - this is the best BBQ restaurant in the area and we weren't dissapointed. The steak was better than any i have eaten and with a Brahma was a perfect end to a perfect day xRead more

    So we have arrived in Rio de Janeiro and what a beautiful place. The weather is gorgeous and the people are so friendly.
    After getting off the 12 hour flight we were glad we booked into a nice hotel although this will be the last one for a while. Buddy is fine but not very happy about spending the journey in the hold So now we will head to Miracema to catch up with Bia and Aldo our students from 4yrs ago. Slightly concerned about how much Mark is like Karl pilkington but im sure he will aclimatize xxRead more

    39 days till Mark and I start our big adventure. The reality of what we are doing has started to hit home with the packing of boxes and emptying the loft of all the " sentimental " belongings we've accumulated over the past few years in this beautiful home.
    We will be travelling the whole of South America and will be reunited with 3 of our first ever Brazilian students. Over the last few years we have accommodated teenagers as a host family whom have become a member of our adoptive family from around the world. The various mixes of culture and customs has only fuelled the passion for us to travel.
    We are setting off on a journey of a lifetime. ........
