Ok so yesterday was filled with car filled adventure. We went into Curitiba because we all want some souveniery things so while running some errands we got to go shopping. We also treated the Abel's to lunch at a buffet restraunt that had some of the best tasting meat I've ever tasted. It was so good. So we spent most of the day in Curitiba shopping and running errands and I'm not telling you what anyone bought so there :) anyhow after we got back to the farm the five of us decided to walk to town to check out the supermarcado because we couldnt find everything we wanted for the right price. Well shopping where locals shop pays off. It was quiet comical they have 1 liter bottles of coke in glass and kenny clayton and I decided we wanted one. So we go to the till and they tell us something about we needed a bottle or something we weren't sure so we decided to just get normal bottles. meanwhile the store staff called up pastor paul to translate us gringos. It was funny. turns out you need to have a bottle or its an extra real to get one. after that we came back and turns out we all missed supper and had to leave for church. i thought it was weird because it was the first time we would have ever eaten supper before church. So we got back and their cousins Jonathan and Melissa had arrived from Phoenix and eaten a whole bunch of the soup so we didn't have crazy amout of food but it was enough. after that everyone went to bed while I watched Melissa Jonny and Alex play Risk. It was good times
Today Was a day just like any other. except for that we got to go to a wicker basket makers house! Unfourtunatly we all forgot camera's so there's no pictures but it was pretty cool. The guy made a car out of wicker. The original is 27 years old and he made it for his wife. it was super cool I would have offered to buy one but it would have gotten broken on the way home for sure.
After that it was time for work from us so we went down and they have a horse ring that's huge and was partially filled with dead plants. So our job was to move said plants because a group wanted to have campfire there later that evening. The worms here are terrifying. They writhe the second they are not buried and it is one of the more frightening things I've see in Brazil. After killing some rather large spiders and shovelling through and ant pile with a pitch fork it looks alot nicer.
We decided after all that work that it was time for something recreational. And what better recreation in Brazil than to play "footbul"? So we played five on five soccer. It ended when Kenny took a ball to the face and decided he should put contacts in and then another group came and had booked the gym so we left. Kenny has a small bruise under his eyebrow but I don't think it should cause much trouble. We will have to see though.
Anyways he wasn't too banged up to be unable to saddle up the horse brownie. She was not too happy that we trapped her in the corall and then saddled and bridaled her and then let everyone who wanted to ride her. The saddle and such is a little diffrent from what Kenny is used to but he successfully managed.
And after that is now. Lynne's foot is healing nicely (from the beach) my wrist has almost entirely new skin and my finger nail just needs to grow out so it doesn't look weird. Erin slept the whole night without waking up coughing so things here are good. We're in excellent health and healing well so thank you for your prayers. Tommorrow is our last day here and then we go to Igasu falls so pray for safe travels good health and that we would stay safe in this tale end of our time here. We really love it here and I'd love to tell you all about Igasu but I think tommorrow shall likely be the last blog.
God Bless All

Glad to hear that you are all staying well and/or healing. I thought the reason you were paying an extra real for the coke might be because coke is the "real thing" I knew you must be missing some of your Dad's good jokes Dane, so there you are.
Anyway God bless you all, we continue to uphold all the teams in our prayers and please don't forget your cameras anymore!
i think the wicker would have traveled better than the glass.
Danes mom
miss you, be safe and still have fun.
