• Day 186 - Emotional Farewell

    November 3, 1974 in Brazil

    Today was a regular day - nothing special to write about.

    Marcia Regina, Ritoca's mother, handed us this note: "It is good to know that there are three persons in a place in this world whom I can regard as friends, although they are complete strangers to me. I hug them and wish them good health and a good continuation of their journey".

    Marcia Regina traveled back to Belo Horizonte yesterday together with Ritoca and Enrique. It was an emotional farewell and certainly not an easy one for Wally, but something he knew he eventually would have to face.

    We decided to move on and prepared the camper for the road. Then I took a last walk through Grajaú and stopped at the post office to send letters and postcards to our friends and family back home.

    Finally, we said our goodbyes to our host family and drove back to Copacabana Beach, where we rejoined the other VW campers. Everyone, except the Germans, was still there.
