We took off this morning from Belem, with some delays, they wouldn`t let us take off right away, but eventually we were off. We had a 3 and a half hour flight to araguacema, where we are staying with our cousin Frank Penner. We had a nice lunch and then we went on the river araguaia in a small boat and saw the sights. We will stay here for two days and then on Wednesday we will fly to Anapolis. It is good to have a break and not stay in a hotel....stay tuned!!! Thanks for the encouragement and comments, we appreciate them....
hopefully we will get some pictures up soon...

About Us
- The Penners
- Hello, and welcome! This is a blog about our trip to Brazil in our dad's plane, a Piper Cherokee Arrow. Our dad was born and raised in Brazil and it has been his dream to fly down there on his own from Canada. Share in this adventure with us, as we, Erich (the dad and pilot), Doris (sister and daughter) and me (Lori, sister and daughter) make our way to Brazil. Feel free to leave us a message!!!

Hello Erich, Doris, and Lori,
I received the email along with the web site and have been following your 'Marco Polo Adventure' with great interest and delight. Yes, I'm extremely happy that you get to fulfill your lifelong dream and fly to good 'ol Bage, RS. WOW. Remember to take a look at the student/'melico' home on Rua Hipolito Ribeiro, 279 where we all lived. I have fond memories of that experience. Continue your journey and enjoy the view. I'm turning green (as in the Brazilian flag) with envy. God bless and HAPPY CHURRASCO. Bruno Ekk
Hi Erich, Doris and Lori. Am soo glad, that you made it to Brasil. The first thing I do when I get home, is to put the Computer on and see what you guys are up to. Stay safe, have fun!! I'm green with envy too. Marly
Lieber Franz, Erich, Doris u. Lori!
Have a good rest! All the best!
Herzliche Gruesse an Euch alle: Franz, Erich, Doris u. Lori!
We had a very nice sunny day today. Tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny again.
It was so good hearing your voices, Erich and Franz. - We pray with you for God's protection your flights.
Cordial greetings, Elfriede
Awesome job Penners :-)
wowzers, i can't' believe you're there already!!
can't wait to see more pictures...

Mel, Mark and Sayls :-)
Hi! I'm a friend of Al and Robyn's...in Montreal! We've been following your progress too and I just want to say congratualtions on the trip of a LIFETIME!! I didn't realize you'd left already and I just read the whole trip in one sitting! It actually brought a tear to my eye! I think it's so fantastic that you are helping your Dad fulfill his own dream and that in turn you are creating a lifelong memory/adventure/dream of your own. In this day and age, I also think it's great that 2 girls are happy to spend time with their Dad and to partake in such a great accomplishment! Good for both of you! I'm envious of your travels, and I'll be checking in regularly! Good luck with everything! Jennilyn :)
Congratulations on the accomplishment of your life long dream, Erich. God has blessed you this far and we pray that He will protect you for the rest of you trip.
Henry
