The last place we went to was just beautiful as you can tell from the view. See, this is not the desolate waste place that I was imagining, it is magnificent!
This is our guide, Favio. He was so cute, he got extremely nervous when we went to his house and asked him if he could take us up to the cave drawings. His hands started shaking he was so nervous because he had never seen so many people in his life except at parties, and there were onlyn 25 of us, I would not like to see how he would react if he were plopped onto BYU campus during a class change!
Anyway, according to them these drawings have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
One
other really cute thing about our guide, as you can see, he is the one
in the middle of the group of guys, he is not wearing a shirt. He told
me that other than going to parties, he has not worn a shirt in seven
years, and when he does wear one to a party he always takes it off as
quickly as he can as soon as he gets home because he just hates them!
If he has a hat on then he is fine in the heat, that is enough for him!
It was fun, all the families and people that we met were truly amazing
and they are doing awesome things out there in the desert to survive,
with the financial support of Diaconia and ingenous ideas they are
really prospering in the sertão of Brazil.
