Greetings from Brazil!





Our cheerful travelers have reported that they are well and happy and enjoying their first days in Brazil. Some highlights on Monday were visiting a cacao farm, touring the city (including the spot where the famous Brazilian writer, Jorge Amado, used to sit in the local cafe) and seeing the cathedral. In the chapel of the school (picture above) the students also enjoyed a lesson about the history of the Ursulines in Brazil. Later in the day, there was time for a visit to the local chocolate factory and the craft market. As you can see, it's quite hot but the group tells us that there has also been a gentle breeze. It looks like they are all delighting in "the thrill of Brazil!"
