Todd Departs Brazil and We Head South
Todd got picked up in the morning by the same cab driver that had given us a lift to the hotel last night. We said good-bye and soon he was off. He flies home through Mexico City on the way to San Francisco so it will be a long trip for him. [Note: It was actually longer than expected. His flight was cancelled so he had to spend 12 hours in the airport waiting for an alternative flight to Chicago.]
We had a long trip in front of us as well. At noon we were out of the hotel, jumped on the metro to the bus station, and then onto our bus to Porto Alegre where we will be catching our next bus to Uruguay.
In front of us on the bus was a brother and sister, ages 11 and 12, who were traveling to a city just outside of Puerto Alegre to visit their grandparents. As they were traveling alone their father asked if we could keep in an eye on them to make sure they were alright during the trip. They’ll probably do a better job of keeping an eye on us given our basic Portuguese.
