10:30 AM Pickup

11:00 Teatro Amazonsa with Moacyr Bittencourt

2:00 Vila Olimpica – the Olympic Village with Pedro and Tereza.

3:30 home to nap and shower

6:15 pick up for drinks at the Hotel Tropical, with Rotarians from Belgium

Notes: Being in a foreign country is tiring. I sleep so well here, even in the humidity. No air conditioning. My brain is fried. My delay in the language pisses me off (excuse my profanity). My first response is Spanish, I stop myself and try again. By then it’s too late. I think to myself – what am I trying to say again?!?!? Oy vey. I do love my dictionary. It is amazing. It has all of the tenses and phrases at the same tie.

7:30 Hotel Tropical was a lot of fun. Dancing, drinks, laughs. Language Ambassador from Germany, France and Belgium.
