We started in January 1976. We spent three days in lovely Miami in a hotel that we heard was condemned right after we left. From there we flew to Brasília and we split up. My group went on to Fortaleza, Ceará for our language and cultural training and the other group went somewhere in the south.
We had a group of finance people that worked with the agricultural cooperatives in Ceará and some teachers as well. A couple of engineers worked in Recife and I think a couple of other places.
