We are here! 24 hours after leaving home we arrived at our home for the week. It is pleasantly plain, but to my delight, we have our own bathroom! The trip was uneventful and unlike what we had been told, everywhere we went, people spoke some English. There were friendly dual language passengers who were always willing to help when we were confused by the Portuguese announcements in the airport. Some of the other volunteers we’ve met already swear we were lucky. They had some hair-raising adventures in their travels to get here. We had a fabulous soup for dinner that we never could figure out what it was. Some kind of spicy vegetable puree. We are 20+ years older than anyone else who is here now. I think most of them are headed out to explore tonight, while we are ready to sleep. We’ll start our explorations tomorrow. We have the day free to be tourists, as some people don’t arrive until later and our orientation is now scheduled for early Monday morning.
