We tried to sleep in a bit this morning...but the crew had a drill that woke us up. Here, one of the lifeboats heads back from a practice save.
We went back into the upper city for fantastic crepes and fresh fruit juices.
Next we headed to the striking St Bonfim Church, a gorgeous Catholic Church where believers buy colorful pieces of fabric and tie them to the outer gate as they make a prayer.
The church was stunning inside.
A side room contains relics, photos, and memorabilia from believers who have been healed because of their prayers at St Bonfim. If they have particular ailments, they hang a replica of the affected area (heart, foot, lung, etc) on the ceiling as a prayer for healing.
The church sits high on a hill and the breeze was very welcome!
The Brazilian Interport Lecturers invited us to their lovely home for homemade pizzas. The wife of the couple is actually American and from Indianapolis. We are looking forward to seeing their family in Indy in the future! We had a great time hanging out, enjoying the company, and eating the pizza fresh from the oven. After being on the ship for so long, it is a treat to be in someone's home.
