Today we had a day off and decided to go for a walk (hike) with the dutch team along a high local ridge to a beautiful park. We managed to take a short video clip of Gideon's comments. Sorry about the large file size but I still have not got round to getting some software to make it smaller. Maybe making a cup of tea while the video clip is loading would be wise.
It was hot but there was a fresh breeze for some of the time so it was not unbearable. When we got to the park we had a picnic and Gideon managed to get a monkey to eat out of his hand. We returned to Luzeiro via a different route along the bank of a river (again, very beautiful) and Josiah, Gideon and Beckie got soaked as they played in the water with some of the team from Holland.

What a fantastic walk - great views and a cool (wet cool) interlude in what looked like a waterfall!

Your own version of The Olympics sounded a brilliant way to work with the favela kids with different challenges. I expect the medals, and being able to keep their tee-shirts was a fantastic conclusion. The Beijing Olympics (kicking off tomorrow) will seem boring after that.
