Note the obligatory water bottle.
Kids with more messages for us to respect The Amazon. This reminds me of the kids at home in Ireland learning in school about recycling and bringing what they have learned home to educate the parents and this seems to be happening here too.
Another station / stop. Notice the typical wooden house!
Umbrellas are not just for rain, shade is very important here too, even at this early hour of the morning. The Portuguese word for "umbrella" is "guarda-chuva" which literally means "protection from rain"!
Our new novice, Renata, is an excellent singer and here she is leading us in a hymn. We had a lorry up front with big "Boom Boxes". Not too many slept along our route that early Sunday morning. The guy playing the guitar is my barber. It was a mix up in communication with him that I lost my beard for a few weeks. I wanted it trimmed and he thought I wanted to take it off, and when he took a big "skelp" out if it I had no choice but to have it taken off. I grew it back in two weeks. He is a good friend to us. Needless to say I soon learned the words I needed when I go to get the hair cut.
