Brazil Dairy - Day 8
18-05-2006
On this day, we went to the annual(final) day celebrations of a school named Ligao Mirim run by the Rotary. It was amazing to note that all the students had the similar sentiments like across India. All of them were from poor families and Rotary has provided them free education and this was the last day for the batch. We sang our national anthem here and it was received very well. In the afternoon, I traveled with Mr.Ricardo and Ms.Diaene to the conference venue in Agua De Lindoi city which is almost 200 kms from Sao Paulo. Ricardo drove at amazing speed with excellent control at the wheel and we reached the place in just 2 hrs. The journey was through the cities of Braganca, Soccoro, Pedra Bela and Pinhel Zinho. Most of the route traveled was a hilly terrain with lot of greenery all around. I found plenty of high rise grass and good number of trees. The roads were 8-lane, four on each side. There were very heavy trucks which I earlier saw only in Hollywood movies traveling at very high speeds. The soil is reddish and even the remote houses on the way had dish antennas.
Mr.Ricardo dropped me at the hotel where we were all booked for the Rotary conference.
