I’ve now hit an even dozen states in this immense country. I’m working this holiday weekend in Goiania, and I realized after I dropped my coworker at the airport yesterday afternoon that Brazilians eat dinner late, Minas was only 200km away, and I don’t have to be at work until 10 today…ROAD TRIP! It was my first experience driving in Brazil and my first experience with a standard transmission in several years and was night and I didn’t know exactly where I was going, but that is kind of what adventure is all about. I had a nice buffet at a highway outpost just across the border and was safely back in my hotel shortly after midnight.

Does it count

that my spouse organized it for me while I was out in the mountains for four days? It was a nice surprise and now makes it easy for us to work on a new quilt together, but it doesn’t feel so much like I accomplished a goal.

The mountains are beautiful. I really don’t have time to leave the airport, but the huge wrap around windows give a nice view of the mountains and I saw the bay and some birds as we were landing. If there was more time, birding would definitely be on the agenda. So this makes 11 states—16 more to go. I catch a flight to Recife in an hour. Maybe there will be time for Joao Pessoa or Natal over the next few days.
