February 2 & 3, 2019
Today, we didn’t have to leave the hotel till 11 a.m. so we all caught up on sleep. When 11 rolled around we boarded the bus and departed for our next hotel, which was a resort in Caldas Novas. When we got to Caldas Novas we ate lunch at a Brazilian restaurant. While at the restaurant some Brazilian asked to take a picture with the “funny looking gringos” and we obliged.
When we arrived at the resort we checked in to our rooms and changed into our swimsuits as quickly as we could. Soon we were lounging by one of the seven pools at the resort with cold drinks in our hands. When dinner time rolled around we briefly reconvened at the hotel restaurant before heading back to the pool for the rest of the evening.
The next morning we celebrated Dr. King’s birthday at breakfast. Afterwards, we headed back out to the pool for the morning. At noon we checked out from the hotel and ate lunch at a rodizio in Caldas Novas.
After eating all we could, we boarded the bus and traveled to our last stop on the long trip, Uberaba. In Uberaba, we met one of Shirota’s friends for dinner at a pizza place before retiring to the hotel to try and watch the Super Bowl.
Lunch!
Pool Day!
We are so grateful for all you have done for us these past six weeks!
Happy Birthday Dr. King!
