If you've been looking at the calendar and counting, you'll know today is really day 11, not what I said in the previous post.   Oh well.   Its interesting having the large group of 14 Portuguese volunteers in the guest house.   A couple of them speak a little English, but basically all the conversation is in Portuguese.   I'm pretty sure the Padre told me I have to say the prayer before dinner tomorrow night.   Adriano said it tonite.  Should be interesting.   I like the Francis of Assisi prayer tho it is more about food for the soul than food for the body.   Back to needlepoint and reading.
