Friends in Brazil Taylors traveled to Brazil’s capital, Brasilia. The city is a planned city so everything has a modem look and feel to it. Craig said it is the most architecturally advanced capital city in the world. One government building is shaped like a giant bowl. Craig was able to take in a lot of Brazil’s beauty. He visited one of New Tribes’ neighbors who raised Arabian horses and spent some time in a nearby country club-type resort. There he hiked and swam and took in the scenery. He also broke his heel sliding into a swimming pool. He bought a pair of sandals so the injury didn’t sideline him. Craig also experienced Brazilian hospitality firsthand. He was swimming while visiting a neighbor. He had forgotten to take his contact lenses out and they popped out into the pool. Four boys, around eight or nine years old, spent three days looking and scooping for Craig’s lenses. Three days later, he got them back. In addition to all his traveling, Craig played soccer, Brazil’s favorite sport. Soccer fields are everywhere, he said. The kids at the missionary school play everyday for at least an hour. The trip to Brazil ended the first week of June. He and Amy took a two-day bus trip from Goiania and flew out of Sao Paulo back to the United States. Since then, Craig worked a summer job like the rest of us. He is now doing an internship with WHTM. CENTERFOLD All photos courtesy of Craig Donmoyer.
