We have been very busy in Brazil. We st
arted from Porta Alegre on Thursday, May 17. We had lunch with very lively Rotarians in Soledade - our first Brazilian BarBQ.Then on to Passo Fundo. A very beautiful drive through the mountains. Our kind escorts were Linor & Marlie who explained the trees, towns and all the sights.
We stopped a Lodi Prescious Stones in Soledade - just amazing
variety of stones - we did our first shopping in Brazil.
Then on to Passo Fundo to meet our "families". We were warmly greeted. A true Rotarian tradition.
We settled in and then went to another Brazilian BarBQ cooked by the men from the three Passo Fundo Clubs - we are learning how to EAT in District 4700!And Drink- a special drink - Chimarro, that Heather-Anne is enjoying (don´t worry its a herbal tea!).
On Friday we visited Universidade de Passo Fundo. They have the most beautiful campus with 20
,000 students taking programs for 1, 2, and 3 year diplomas, 4 year Bachelor degrees, Masters and one PhD program. A truely multi level true university with an emphasis on applying learning in service to their community and country.
