Well, we don’t have our visas yet but I am supposed to know something at 4:30 this afternoon. If everything goes well, we will be boarding Delta from here to Atlanta and from there to Rio de Janeiro Brazil. We will be leaving Atlanta on Sunday evening and arriving in Brazil about 9:00 on Monday morning. We are hoping all the paperwork goes well so we won’t have to delay our departure. I am looking forward to the research I will be doing on my next book while we are there in Brazil. So I am letting the cat out of the bag a little by devulging information about Brazil. I am so excited to return. It has been several years. We are returning to sign over some land I gave a girl who worked for us when we lived in Brazil. I gave her the land when we left and it was worth about $400.00 U.S. Now the property is worth more than $150,000.00 U.S. It will be a great retirement for her. We are looking forward to the painting classes Charlotte will take in Rio. This artist has never been to the U.S. to paint and we are considering bringing him here to our studio to teach a class or two. Ater a week in Rio we will be going to the state of San Paulo for two more weeks. We will take a few days for research for my next book. We have friends who will be taking time off from work to show us around the country so we are expecting a great time. Be sure and log in to the blog so I know who is riding along with us. If you have questions or ideas, speak up! This is going to be a great trip!
