After much anticipation, our 15 member Brazil Delegation departed from DFW airport last night. They could not have been more enthusiastic! And their enthusiasm was not dampened by the fact that they left almost 3 hours late due to a problem with the airplane thermostat. The group did indeed miss their connection in Sao Paulo but they were quickly rerouted through Salvador and finally arrived safely and happily (and, we hear, a little "sweaty" from the extreme humidity) in Ilhéus, Bahia this afernoon. We know that they were met by the faculty, parents and teachers from Nossa Senhora da Piedade, our sister-school, and that all are being welcomed and celebrated this evening. We can't wait to hear more news and to see a few photos - stay tuned! 
Glad everyone made it safely, just jealous of your weather! Hope all goes well this weekend, and I cannot wait to see and read about what you all experience in Brazil!

Oh, I remember well the humidity in Bahia! A small price to pay, though, for the absolutely breathtaking scenery!

I know you'll find the community at Piedade, and the larger community of Ilheus, delightful and welcoming!!
I can't wait to hear more!
