I am in a LAN house in Gramado - which is about an hour and half bus ride from Porto Alegre. Beautiful town - but man, I miss the wireless coffee houses and my American Keyboard…minor details, I know.
We made it in Sao Paolo, changing airports. The airport was on the other side of town. Town - yeah, the 3rd largest city in the world. It took us 2 hours. Fortunately customs was the fastest I have ever experienced it.
150 Brazillian teenagers are on the camp this weekend and it is fun. It is cool to hear familiar songs in a different language.
The students are on the work crew for the camp. This morning at breakfast, Junior (the camp director) chewed out his Brazillian crew saying they were getting outworked by the Americans. At first I thought it was a joke but Agnes quickly got me to shut up and said Junior was very serious.
Personally - I think they are still bitter about us beating them in the World Cup.
Will keep you posted as I can.
Gordo y feliz!

Ahhh, the jozy of technologz overseas. I noticed the accent on zour “e” in the title. No doubt attributed to the Portugese kezboard. On a Hungarian keyboard, the “y” and “z” are switched so I’ve tzped manz an email with them in the wrong place.
Miss you bro! Tell Amy hi, too. Can’t wait to hear the stories of what God is doing (and the good food you ate)
Kellemes Husvet kivanok (Happy Easter!!)
