Our training, alone, was a wonderful experience.
Would love to make contact with my PC partner in Goiatuba, Goias, Janet Benjamin. Anyone know her whereabouts?

Went back to Goias in 2009. Had a great reunion with my Brazilian family in Goiania. Went to Ipora and found people who knew people I knew, but everything looked so different. What an amazing change all over Brazil in 40 years!   (jul 12)

COMMENTS:
 

I've looked at Rubiataba and Goiania on Google maps. Not surprising to see that both have grown substantially in 40+ years. The only part of the bus ride between the two cities that was paved when I was there was the stretch between Goiania and Anapolis. Rubiataba had no paved roads. Now the entire city is paved with the exception of some far outlying areas, which would have been fields in my day.

Good to see all this progress in a great country.
