Day 191 - Wally’s Decision

November 9th
(Ursula) After breakfast, we continued writing to our friends and relatives. We had no desire to visit the city and preferred to move on as soon as possible.

We could tell that something didn't seem right with Wally this morning. When we asked him about it, he confessed that he and Ritoca had fallen in love and decided to stay in Brazil.

The situation tortured him because he felt he was letting us down. But Heinz and I understood his feelings and encouraged him to follow his intuition and not worry about us. That made him feel a little better, but he was struggling.

Many open questions came with Wally's sudden decision. We sat down and helped him plan and make a list of priorities. He needed a place to live and a job. Heinz and I spent the rest of the day discussing ideas and exploring leads we received from the manager at the Swiss Sports Club.

We checked out several apartments, but nothing positive transpired. By 10 PM, we were tired and returned to the Swiss Club for the night. It was obvious that finding a place to live and getting a job wouldn't be a piece of cake for a foreigner.
