Day 2

Our flight to Londrina included a jaunt south to Cutichiba. Folks later assured us that we could have driven from Sao Paulo to Londrina in 5-6 hours versus the 13 hours it took us to wait and then fly but after seeing the massive sprawl of humanity that makes up the city of Sao Paulo it seemed that our course was the wiser.

We were happily met at the airport by Paolo, the church pastor, Kellen, his wife and James, a volunteer at Capela de Gracia. After checking into our hotel, we dropped our bags off and headed straight to the church to experience Inside Out, the high school ministry, Brazil style!  It was very cool to worship with these teens.  They are eager to meet the team of high schoolers from Browns Bridge that's slated to come in July for both a construction project and group retreat.

Two other church members took us to dinner at a popular restaurant called Pastel Mel that night and we throughly enjoyed sampling the Brazilian cuisine.

After about 32 hours of wakefulness it sure felt good to crawl into bed that night!
