Here at Last - "Jonesy"
Today after what seemed like an indefinite flight, we finally arrived at our destination, Natal Brazil. We left the airport happy just to be off the airplane and took a bus to our hotel. Here we met Miguel Delima and the rest of the Delima soccer staff. Expecting to simply carry our luggage to our rooms and crash, we were a bit surprised when Miguel told us to meet on the beach in shorts.
At the beach, we found out that we were expected to go for a twenty minute run/jog, which was the last thing any of us wanted to do. About halfway through our run most of us realized that the run wasn’t so bad. I actually enjoyed getting out and moving my legs a bit. After our run we had some free time which all of us used swimming in the ocean.
Overall this first day was pretty good despite the long flight. I am very excited to spend the next two weeks in this interesting and amazing country.
