I flew to Rio for carnival Feb. 1969. I taught one semester in Curitiba at the American school then traveled to Belem by bus, stopping a week at a time to visit friends in Rio, Bahia, Recife, etc. I took a boat up the Amazon to Manaus, flew to Miami with short stays in Bogotá and Panama City. I returned to my job in Santa Monica at the end of August. My sister and I both trained for Brazil (she trained in Albuquerque). She served in Maceió, Alagoas, then returned for additional experiences in Colombia and again in Brazil, where I caught up with her for carnival.
