Last night at about 1am Father Lorenzo burst through the doors with a bronchitis infection like no other. He wont take antibiotics - good thing I have Epicor, Probiotics and a Vitamin regime that Celebrities take.What I found interesting was that this morning his only concern was defrosting the fridge, not the roaches, ants or Urine smell coming from the bathroom. My towel smells like Urine which means the water isnt filtered. Nothing like showering this morning in that water and the drying yourself with the towel while avoiding man eating slugs.
Oh check that - Hes sweeping right now :)
Anyway, we are off to Itacoatiaria tomorrow so my email access will be quite limited, but I think we are there for only a day for now. Then we go back on the 12th for the longer period of time when the Bishop is in town.
He wants to take me to a good breakfast and explain a few things - who wants to bet he takes me to LINDOPAN - if he only knew :)
Update:
The complete opposite. The priest took me to a tailgate stand where there was a lady using a bad version of a George Foreman grill. He ordered me two breakfast sandwiches and a weird maroon juice. The first sandwich was a traditional egg and cheese, but the second one was quite different.They have a fruit here called Tucu Ma and you can only get it in the Amazon. It has the consisency of plantain but the taste of a vegetable. They drown it in cheese, oil, butter and bread so I couldnt tell you what the actual taste is, but it was gooooood. The juice was odd.
After a few minutes back in the house, there was blood spurting out everywhere on Lorenzos hands. He cut himself bad as he was messing with the freezer. I flip into EMT mode and grab my first aid kit - I thought it was for me. ha.
Out of nowhere a Man and Woman show up for a meeting with Lorenzo and I sit at the table as if I am participating which was laughable - I read the NY TIMES since Lorenzo grabbed it in NY. Its my first time hearing about the Obama Speech and the Airline that went down from RIO! Good thing I didnt find out about that earlier - Im going to Rio on June 18th.
Oh and the priest bought an air mattress at target in NY and took it on the plane as carry-on - that was a nice surprise.

When does the Rabbi arrive?
ReplyDeleteThat's great that he took you to a local joint! lol What kind of juice was it? I thought about telling you that the plane went down (it happened the day you left), but decided not to freak you out. :)
ReplyDeleteHi ,Great to get a picture of the Father I have never met him.Air mattres was a stroke of genius and very kind of him. You can imagine how I felt when that plane went down the day you left!Can"t wait to hear about this next little jaunt Thank God you are just going for the day.
