We arrived in Santos!

We left Montreal and flew to Toronto where we met up with an old friend of John's, Agathe, at the airport for a coffee. We hadn't seen her for 15 years! We then boarded the plane to Sao Paulo. Sarah and Muthuldie (Sarah's host mom) picked us up from the airport. It was great to see Sarah. The airport was kinda like Honolulu airport with all the greenery and open air feeling. We headed back to Sarah's first family (Beatriz and Carlos) for lunch anoyd unpacking. Sarah is speaking portguese very well and is our translator for the day. We went shopping at the mall and bought some things for Sarah for our trip and later that night we went out for dinner and beer. Beer is soooooo cheap. $1.50 CDN for 600ml bottle of beer. We then came home and crashed as we only had about 3 hours sleep on the plain. The next day was Sarah's 19th Birthday. We got up and went with Carlos and Sarah to her favorite beach where we suntanned and played in the waves. They sang Happy Birthday to her in Portuguese and English. The food and drinks are all cheap!! Everything is good and the people are very friendly! I am learning to speak a little portuguese and feel very comfortable here. I have attached a few photos of Agathe, Sarah at the beach and her birthday party.
