Sunday Update
This morning, Valdir went to work at 6 am… he does guard work for a conduminio fechado up by Monte Alegre.

“ai que color!”

She is a little put out as we went out without her last night and left her to talk to the neighbors who were sitting out and drinking pinga. She ising around opening and closing the windows… for some odd reason they all close the house, and don’t like fans, when really even when it is oppressive outside a cross breeze and a fan or two would fix it all. But I think that becasue there is little to do other than walk around locking and unlocking doors, opening windows, she just does that… it was, after all, too early for a telenovela, or O Calderão do Huck or something like that…
So I dosed off a bit more, and suddenly there were two missionaries clapping at the front gate…
“chega”
I had had enough, so I called
