We continue to enjoy our stay here in the mountains. I don´t have tons of exciting news, but wanted to post some pictures, although the internet here is interminably slow, so I am not too sure how many I will succeed in uploading before my time is up.The other night it was quite chilly (8º C) and with the fireplace going full blast we were still co
ol. But what fun we had roasting cheese on sticks, letting it melt onto fresh bread (our neighbor bakes) and enjoying fresh grape juice (you didn´t really think a Baptist pastor would have wine, did you?). It was so delicious and felt to very decadent. I felt in the very lap of luxury. Our little chalé is really quite lovely and comfortable. It has everything we need. The only really hard thing is working up the courage to take a shower. The water is warm, of course, but the bathroom isn´t!

I look like a babushka or something, but anything to stay warm on a cool morning.Just across the street is the airstrip and yesterday we went talking along the land strip, as it is one of the highest points in the city. We had a great view of the city and mountains around us. In ad
dition we got to run to the side of the runway and watch a plane land right in front of us. What a hoot. Here I am on the airstrip, in front of one of the native pine trees that are just so very beautiful here. We don´t get many pine trees in our area of Brazil, so we are fascinated with them.

The photo of João is also from the airstrip and shows some of the mountains in the background. You have to admit it is different from Rio.
The food here is outstanding. Everyday we have had something different. We couldn´t res

my drawing and see who is growing a beard during his vacation... can you guess who it is? Well that´s the news for now.
