A Smith Family Visit



My dad and grandma were here for 6 days last week.  Arriving on Thanksgiving day.  I decided to take them to paradise for a day or two.  We relaxed on the beach, drank coconut water, tried to watch the sunrise (it comes up way earlier than I thought), held a sea urchin, and even got to walk out on some reefs and found one natural pool that is shaped like Brazil.  

The sunrise that was still beautiful even though we missed it.

Me holding the sea urchin.  It tickled a lot.

Grandma, Annika and I at dinner. 

Grandma made a friend at Derby and even taught her a word in English-- "hug". 

I got to introduce them to one of the ladies, Riso, who donated her time when we first arrived to teach us Portuguese and has continued to be an awesome friend. 

We had an amazing lunch with the ministers and deacons in the church in São Lourenço and their families. A fun afternoon had by all.  Including coconut water, fresh fruit juice, yummy food, and lots of translating.  

We even got to see a few museums and get to know the culture a little better.
