Today we were up and at it fairly early. We wanted to wait to visit all the gift shops and finish off buying souvenirs. We had a nice walk down town and made all our purchases. The area is in full party mode.
We hurried home for lunch. We headed next out to Ribeira Grande to help with a lesson. They had kittens.
We came back home and I started cooking for tomorrow. We next headed over for our last branch council meeting. When we entered the parking lot there were so many cars. Then inside there were tables of food we went into the chapel area and all these members were waiting for us. It was a surprise party. I hate surprises but I loved seeing all these people and I especially liked to see grandma be hugged and kissed by everyone.
Once again it got away from me and put the pictures where it wanted. The party was wonderful. If I had said I liked a food we had it. Que Coisa. We visited and ate. I will truly miss these people. We next came home and decided to walk down to see what the celebration was about. Everyone wears white and the lights make it look strange. Think fair crowds back home. They just walk up and down the roads there are lots of bars open and several music venues. But we left before the majority of these started. Just thousands of people walking in the streets.
We plodded home as we had walked a lot and been on our feet a lot all day. Lots of fun, lots of memories. We love you all.
