Slept in on Saturday because we are all so very worn out. Got up for an 8:30 breakfast, then had our morning devotion & received our hand painted Brazilian shirts we ordered before we left for the Amazon River Basin (ARB). After that, we went down to the boat to finish unloading all the heavy tools, hammocks, etc. When we finished that we went down to the Orla (riverfront) to shop. From there we heading to Chihascarrea Brazilian BBQ (see photo). They basically bring you endless choice cuts of beef, chicken, & pork on a long skewer & you jab your work in exactly the piece you want & they cut it off for you. Awesome food! After that, a few of us (Jeff, Mike Savini, Glenn, Claire Helring, & Amie heading out on a Brazilian candy run & a trip by the video store for Claire & Jeff. Headed home for a bit & then, Pastor Chuck, Mike Savini, Jeff, Mike Edwards & me (Glenn) headed down to the Orla for Santarem's famous french fries (see photo of me & Mike) and ice cream. We hung out a while because the Orla was rocking!We ended the night saying all our final goodbyes to our hosts, Don, Betty, & Jeff. They are truly amazing hosts & made us feel completely at home & are a reall blessing to our team. We all sincerely love them,It's currently 12:20am here & we have to be up at 4:30am to catch our first flight. Here is our itenary: We leave Santarem at 7:10 am Sunday & arrive in Charleston at 2:40 pm Monday. 31.5 hours in travel time including a 7.5 hour layover in Brasilia & a 7.5 hour layover in Miami. Sounds like fun so here we come!
