happy mother's day from boa vista

Oi! We took off from Manaus this morning. We went through some clouds and rain right before boa vista. We made it safely under the clouds and spotted the runway YAHHOOOOOOOO!!! There are always these dumb birds that circle around the airports and we were told to watch out for them. We made it safe and sound and now we are in our hotel and hoping to make it to Grenada tomorrow. This is our last stop in Brazil, :( so sad. That means we have to start going through customs again, what fun. We will go through fewer customs than on the way here, 5 or 6 as opposed to 8.

Mummy, we sang for you at 7500 ft, hope you have a good day, you deserve it! We miss you!!!

our cousins, Marcio, Keila and Matthias...thank you!!

Hallo! We are very happy and thankful that you had also a good flight to Boa Vista and that you had a wonderful time with Marcio, Keila and Mathias Rempel. To God be the praise. - I just came home from church half an hour ago. For lunch Hildegard invited me. Norbert and Dennis will be there too. - Here the sun has not come out yet today. Yours, Elfriede

Hi Guys,
Welcome to the Northern hemisphere again. Did you see the equator between Manaus and Boa Vista??? Just joking.
Watch out for the Roraima Mountain Range in the Venezuela, Brazil, Guyana triangle.
Let's hope that the huge cloud of smoke caused by the extensive forest fires in Florida and Georgia will have dissipated prior to your arrival on the East coast of the U.S.
Remember "Never hurry home" and you'll make it home all right.
Enjoy the trip.
Herb & Julie
