AND THIS IS BRAZIL!


We traveled for about 3 days and 3 nights, with an excess of luggage and a baby and a guitar on our backs. Moving your whole family for the first time wasn't easy, and as soon as we got in the first plane from the blessed city of Tijuana where we lived for the past 3 1/2 years to Mexico City, I was hit with a high fever. I guess my body finally felt the weight of having to prepare the whole month before for this move. So my dear Joey (or Cronk) showed his valour and cared for everything, including our baby while I snoozed and drank some nice "cuba libre" in the air. Aaaah, now that's what I have Cronk for-ha! Thanks darling! Couldn't have made it without you!!

From MC we went to Chile, where we waited for 10 hours, as our plane was 5 hours late....Yikes! My fever only got worse, and i slumped on the airport couches for most of the time while my boys played ball in the halls. We survived!

Arriving in Rio we were quite late, but the dear brethren there were sweet enough to wait to pick us up, GBT! It felt wonderful to be back to my home country again. Portuguese all around, which made Joey grin as big as a child on his birthday. Rio was quite hot, compared to Tijuana, and we both laughed, thinking about the cold north we'd just exchanged for the fresh, warm beachy, tropicals. We had cheated winter-ha!

After a night in Rio, we took an 8 hour bus ride to little Vitoria, the city we will be calling home for as long as God wills it!

We reached the house here, and we took a deep cleansing breath "WE'RE HOME"!!

We live a block away from the beach, in a beautiful 2 stories house with a huge pool. Our God is truly Wonderful!!!

Aaaah! THIS IS BRAZIL!!!
