Horseback rides & sunset

After a busy morning,we had lunch in our flat. Sharon and I were tired but I tried to read some to prepare for my teaching. Eventually, we both fell asleep. When we woke up, we decided to go to the beach for a walk. I found a whole sand dollar! I have found them before but they have always been broken when I have found them on the beach. I was so excited! We ended up finding a total of 8 sand dollars that were whole... No chips or breaks. It was a grand find! It reminded me of how we are like the broken fragments of shells lying on the beach but with Jesus in our hearts he makes us whole again.
On our walk back to the flat we saw a few teenagers and an old man with a beautiful white horse. They were riding it back and forth on the beach taking turns. Of course, I decided that I wanted to ride the horse. Sharon laughed at me but I just walked up yo them, with motions and mixed english and portuguese, then understood and let me ride. I asked one of the teenagers to ride with me because I really didn't want to fall off a horse and end up in the hospital in brazil:)) I have never ridden a horse on the beach until today!

Paulo & Hilde picked us up from the flat and took us to crocodile beach. If is a famous place to go and watch the sunset. There is a guy that rides across the ocean playing the sax every night at sunset. Pastor Paulo said it was the best place to watch the sun set.
After the sunset we met up with Gabby. She is one of our translator and I just love her. She shopped with us at the stores along the beach and then we all went to eat dinner at her favorite restaurant. We had some sort of burger with fries and fruit juice. They have lots of different fruit so I was intrigued by the juice choices.
So glad Gabby could join us!
