From Alberto, April 17, 2000 |
| Well, today is going well. I'm like a human
pin-cushion at night, though. Many mosquitoes are finding their way
to me and I look like I have the measles. Today we visited the university, a rock museum there, lots of gems and minerals. Also, a school of music and art, and one of music and computers. Also, there was a visit to a meteorology lab where we saw photos and computer simulations of the rainfall here. Campina Grande needs rain. People are so friendly here. Dad just walked in and said "mehlhorando fico bom" very well, thanks. which reminds me of one of the sayings he taught me - when asked how you are - one can respond melhor do que ontem, pelior do que a manha better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow :) I like that sentiment. Some more pictures of the dunes follow and one of Bill giving the big thumbs up at the dunes. "This is the national symbol of Brazil. The next photos will be of Campina Grande and then I'm off to lunch. ===== Alberto Kaufman |
