Still in Brazil :)

Well I have to confess our day visits out have been slightly hampered by the vast quantities of tropical rain we have been experiencing here (That's just to make those of you in less warmer climates feel better). But we are determined to go out for the day tomorrow, come rain or shine, to the old part of town to see how things used to be. The main part of Goiania where we are now has apparently only been built in the last 70 years....
We did however visit some relatives yesterday who have a lovely country house with chickens, guinea fowl, ducks and others of the feathered variety and enjoyed a lovely brazilian meal of meat, beans and rice. Other trips have included a visit to a museum which has replicated villages from the indian tribes to the slaves to the settlers when they came. Most of which you can go inside and see how they used to live etc.
Otherwise we have been involved in church activites such as the 'English Hour' with mikes parents and mike lead worship last sunday. We have also been found guilty of introducing the game 'Taboo' into the church.....no doubt we shall hear after we have gone if it really catches on or not.
Meanwhile I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
Here are some pics of the different villages.
