Mom sends her hellos to everyone this morning in her email to me. Here is what she wrote:
The pizza party was really nice. We ended up talking to 11:30 PM. We (Molly and I) had a lot to catch up on. Yes, they turned the heat on in the hotel room and last night I finally had to turn it off because I got too hot! I visited a supplier yesterday called Bruning. They have the largest factory I have ever seen. They have the ability to do everything that I have two suppliers doing. Steel is however, very expensive here and I could never afford to do business with them. I’m going to take pictures today and tomorrow.

It has really been a good experience and if I ever come back to Brazil, I will learn some Portuguese.
I’m looking forward to getting back home. I will call you before I leave the office today. We work from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Tonight we are all going out for BBQ, Brazilian style. It is supposed to be very good. So, far the food I have eaten is very good. Best beef ever.
It sounds like Mom is enjoying her time in Horizontina after a few bumps in the road. She’ll finish her last day there today before leaving Friday morning to come home. There will be plenty of photos on her digital camera that I will have to upload for her!
I wonder if Brazilian beef can rival Iowa beef? I would be interested in doing a taste test one of these days!
