[QUOTE="MACE, post: 680572, member: 16716"] [b]Day of sand practice , jetting and shopping 10/30/03[/b] Bom Diem friends and supporters, Today Sarah and I left the guys alone and hired a driver and went shopping. We went to the Mercado Central in downtown Fortaleza. This is a huge three level craft market. The sellers are worse than any telemarketer and will not take no for an answer. I was forced to buy some straw hats, but I only paid him a third of what he asked. It was ambarrassing and draining. The market has hand made items like hammoks, lace, cashews and other local nuts, of course the regular tshirts and sarrongs, lots of leather shoes, purses and such. We see lots of precious stones like amathyst, jade, crystsl. We also went to a large mainstream mall, very fancy better than any mall we have in US. Actually it was very similar to the mall of America I went to while in Minnesota. The funnest part of that was going to a large grocery store, I want to go back when I have more time. The Brazilian packaging is very different I bought 45 liters of water and will need more by friday. I severely underestimated the amount of water it would take to keep my family of four hydrated. Right now in the first 4 days we have used 35 liters. Amazing! We are figuring just for Pauls camel backs we will use 5 liters. Yesterday the boys made amazing strides, I am happy to see Pauls confidence rising. He is believing in himself again, he is joking around and happy again. Meal times are cool for me to sit back and watch my kids interact with all these great people. I love my kids, they are so fun, I so proud of the people they have become, (tear). Alan Deyo from Idaho has been adopted as our families Grandpa, on our flight from Sau Paulo to Brazillia the ticket checker came to us and collected all our tickets to make flight changes and after a few minutes looked at me sadly puzzled and said, I am having trouble keeping you all together as a family I may neet to seat your grandpa in another row away from you. hehehe so from that poing on we have called him Grandpa Alan and Paul said at dinner last night he will forever now call him that. Alan has 3 six days under his belt and will be #377 our last US rider. Last night at the team meeting the director for the OLN coverage filled us in on their plan. Outdoor Life Network will have a team of 12 reporters and cameras covering this event. It is going to be fum, I will keep you posted of this. More later, Mommy Neff [/QUOTE]
