My week in Vitoria has been a great experience. Another
super Maple Bear school with so many great teachers who love children. I’ve
been working with teachers, with the owner and coordinator on an event that
will happen at a large theater on Saturday. It’s a bit like Christmas Concert
and Primary Graduation with lot of details and many of people working together
to pull it off. Had dinner with the
company president and his wife the publicity director and the school owner last
night. She and I have the Cape Breton connection in common and they are very
interesting people.
My hotel is right on the beach, but only was able to take
one walk on the beach, I go to school about 8 and come home just before dark.
This morning we had a meeting with teachers at 7:00-8:00. I’m enjoying the
experience very much, great people to work with. I recommend Brazilians!
Saturday:
Today was the big day, all the parents came to the theater
and we had Pooh story reading, the Movie Pooh, the coordinator spoke as well as
Rodney Briggs the President of Maple Bear. Sorry to say good-bye to so many
wonderful people.
Edinea took me to the airport and made sure I was all set.
Great flight to Sao Paulo but forgetting that I was not on a connecting flight
to Toronto, I breezed right by the baggage claim and went to the huge boarding
line. Well it hit me part way through the line-up, ……maybe I was supposed to
pick up my suitcase! After a lot of explaining and up and down the airport I
want to the baggage claim and someone found my missing bag. Then I had to start
the line all over again after I had checked the bag. I made it through all the
line-ups and had time to spare at the boarding gate.
