It was about an 18 hour journey from home to Porto Alegre. The flights were fine, the travel company is great, and the mission is quite.....challenging. This airplane needs some help. It's supposed to be in service by June 1 but buy looking at it, I don't know if it'll make July 1. But that's just work.
I've never been south of the equator before - and yes the drains go the other way. In a way it reminds me of the Phillipines when I visted 30 odd years ago. The unrelenting traffic, the cloud of diesel smoke, and the humidity that sticks to your soul. The people I've met so far are friendly, and it's really too bad that I don't understand the language. I think I'll be learning more about myself this week.
Stay tuned.
