• Day 196 - Curitiba

    November 13, 1974 in Brazil

    We only slept for a few hours, as the airport traffic woke us up. We ate breakfast at the airport restaurant as a special treat for a new beginning (as a team of two).

    Our table had a view of the airstrip and downtown São Paulo in the background. It reminded us of the view from La Guardia Airport with the skyline of Manhattan.

    After a stop at the Post Office, we oriented ourselves on the map to find the road to Curitiba. It felt strange to be on the road without Wally. We missed him already.

    Although the camper was a bit lighter now and had more room, we were used to traveling as a team of three for the last seven months.

    We hope he made the right decision to stay in Brazil. At least we know that Ritoca will be thrilled to see him again, and he can probably stay with her family. We keep our fingers crossed!

    Shortly before Curitiba, we stayed overnight at a rest area with drinking water and bathrooms. We felt tired and went to sleep right after dinner.
