Groups are sounding better and better, they've really been working hard, but the question is, can they do it without looking at the music? Some still are clutching onto it, but surprisingly or maybe not surprising to some, the kids don't seem to need to look at anything. They've memorized the melody and words and every day they amaze me more. Tomorrow is rehearsal day, so we will see - say your prayers.
We had to say good-bye to one of our "tres hombres" as he will not be participating in the concert, so it was a bitter sweet farewell as we don't know if he'll be able to stay in touch with us. Taking lots of pictures and many stories to tell when we get back home.
From what we can tell the weather back home is hotter than here and more tumultous. This is Brazil's winter and I'm still hot, but nights are thankfully cooler, however no rain in sight for a while. All is dry and arrid, water is scarce in the interior, many go without. Thankfully, Remanso is on the river and water is not as much of a problem but still a growing concern. They need rain badly, hopefully the upcoming rainy season will replenish their supply.
OK, our countdown continues, stay tuned.....
