Day 168 - Refreshing my French

(Ursula) It was fairly cool and rainy this morning. We took this opportunity to write a few more letters and postcards.

In the afternoon, an architect we met the day before drove us to the Novocap urban housing development site, located a few miles outside the city. It was interesting to see, and I was able to ask him lots of questions about construction in Brazil and architecture. I liked the housing project in itself, but the execution of the concrete work was not up to my standards.

(Ursula) I'm not feeling so great this morning. We could continue the journey but still have things to prepare.

Wally and Heinz went into town searching for a place to exchange Dollars at a reasonable rate. It took them a long time and returned late. Meanwhile, I was busy doing household chores and refreshing my French with our campground neighbor Gina.

Ute & Peter went to purchase glass beads & material to craft necklaces. They are running out of money and have to get creative if they want to make it to São Paulo. They plan to set up a little stand by the entrance to the TV tower and sell necklaces.

I would also like to craft something like that, but just for fun, not to depend on making money for travel.
