Hello family and friends!
Wow...well, we´re getting a bit worn out, so today is a rest day. However, when you are in Brazil the one time in your life you´ll be here, you do something fun. So most people are going to the river to go down natural waterslides or hike 3 hours to a waterfall, but Dan, me and one other student got picked to go adjust people in another town with the local chiropractor. So, we´re up and at it and heading off for another work day.
Yesterday was amazing. We got up bright and early after 5-6 hours of sleep (seems to be a common thing on this trip). We bussed it to Palmeris and then my group got on a crazy bus driver´s van, proceeded down a dirt road for about 45 minutes and after almost having a puker (not me momma!) in the van, we arrived at our location. We set up clinic and away we went. We adjusted until lunch, took a break to eat at a restaurant that served toasted bread with pesto, home-made vegetarian lasagna and freshly squeezed pineapple-mint juice. Sounds weird, but most things are here and somehow they still taste good. Then we went back to clinic, adjusted for a while and then closed up shop. We headed to see this local man´s house that makes liquors just like the other group, then went to eat pizza. The pizza is at a little organic restaurant and that is the only thing on their menu.
After dinner we took the 1.5-2 hour ride back, hung out by the pool for a bit and went to bed...not early enough of course. People on the trip are getting mildly sick from eating food and being worn out, mostly with "pluming problems" as the Austrailian doctor on our trip calls it. We're all doing our best to keep hydrated and eat only what wont upset our stomachs. Poptarts and crackers may be the way to go for a day to let our bodies adjust a little.
Well, I´m off to clinic and we´ll post more tonight or tomorrow. Oh, and I cant get pictures on here as I go, since this is a community computer we are using, so they will come when we get home. Sorry!!!
Keep praying for our group!
