Arcos and Formiga

Just a quick blog to say that we have moved onto the town of Arcos and have also been to the town of Formiga that is relatively close by, where we did a presentation last night. 

 

 

Earlier in the day the Rotarians of Arcos took us to see a wonderful waterfall that looked good in the dry season, but we could imagine that in the rainy season the flow would be a lot greater. Liz was the only one brave enough to go for a swim and I think she got a little more wet than she bargained for! 

 

 

 

 

Today we went again with the Rotarians of Formiga who took to see lots of different places around the area, including a limestone factory, a social housing enterprise that rotary have been assisting  with and also to a working farm with 600+ cattle together with a really different garden and  a variety of other animals ranging from pigs to emu to Labrador puppies!  We also saw some of the other produce produced on the site.  Here we had a traditional local lunch with the obligatory beans and rice which is actually very tasty!

 

 

 

 

We then managed to squeeze in a visit to a primary school in Formiga followed by a photo opportunity at the main church  in the town.  All the churches here are very imposing. 

 

 

 

as we have had such a full day, and its now midnight Brazil time, with another busy day tomorrow I will call it a day with the blog, only to say:

 

Boa Noite,
