This morning my driver was the same fellow who drove me here from the airport. A bit hyper and it shows in his driving, always trying to get ahead and cutting off other drivers. He’s the kind that gives Brazilian drivers a bad name. I asked one of the teachers how much it would cost to get a taxi from
Rio to here, she said about $500.00!! Buses are much cheaper but you have to get a taxi from the airport to the bus stop which doesn't have any English signs and few English speakers if any.
Today I spent quite a
bit of time in the classes and out on the playground, Such cute children and
lovely names. I asked about the cafeteria and found out they have a nutritionist
who works with the menu and they have different meals every day of the month,
no repeats for a month. Chartwells (SRSB cafeterias) would be a distant last to
this company.
On the drive to school we pass a wet area. There are always egrets,
nice and white, not like the dirty , used to be white ones we saw in the canals
in Cairo. There are also big white cattle with large horns and a lot of bumps called Zebu. I
even saw an armadillo crossing sign or perhaps it was a `it’s a crime to kill
an armadillo` notice.
