We arrived on time in Natal Friday afternoon and by the time we gathered our luggage, William, Joanna, and Willianni were there to meet us.  We had to make two trips from the airport because the car is not big enough to carry all our luggage and us too.  I waited at the airport with two of the big suitcases while William took the rest to the house.

This past week we have not done much of anything except lay around getting used to the time and climate change.  Unfortunately my 72-hour cold turned into a 7-day cold moving from my head to my chest.  It is almost gone today.

Carnaval starts today.  Maybe we will go see some of the activities in Natal tomorrow.
