Tuesday May 23
Justin is getting well again after being on his medicine. Should be okay in another day and Roz is pretty much over her cold and coughing and almost has her voice again.
Today was a long day of visits: first was a visit to IAPAR, the research center for agriculture (we're getting lots of Roz vocational days!). They have developed specific varieties of wheat and soybeans for this area. Most interesting was their area of medicinal herbs.
Following this was a visit to an herbicide factory. This was themost like a US factory as we have seen but not much to see since it is all automated.
Final factory was a large plant for making instant coffee, including freeze drying for Folger's, which was more interesting. This was located in a small city about an hour from Londrina, quite scenic.
Our evening is free and we are all hoping to get a good night's sleep before another day tomorrow and then followed by two free days!
Sorry we haven't posted any photos lately but that will need to be done by someone other than me (Doug).
Londrina is a city where we feel at home and safe, the kind of city where we would like to get out on our own and explore and do some shopping.
One week from now we leave Parana and head for our one night in Rio, excptt for Roz who will stay a few extra days with her friend, JoAnn. Lucky!
