We went to school, and met with many staff members - and a few of their children. We loaded a school bus (this detail will be more meaningful later!) and headed into the mountains and jungle above Nova Campina.
It felt pretty normal.....until the pavement ended! We spent most of the day off-roading in a school bus!
Thank God Jayme was with me to hold my hand and talk me off my proverbial motion-sickness cliff - it got a little....intense(?) at times!
After a good number of hairpin turns, and some seriously precarious u-turns, we finally made it to the cliffs above Nova Campina!
It was stunning, to be sure. We certainly loved spending such time with Ivanete and her wonderful friends and co-workers!
After we returned to school, we were invited to the staff member's house across the street from school. She had her own farm! She was so incredibly hospitable - she made sure we were well fed with her homemade queso and peanut sauce - she even invited us to stay the night with her! While we respectfully declined that offer, we feel so cared for!
