Tomorrow we are leaving for a much needed and anticipated vacation. We'll be driving to the coast, a few hours to the east of Belem, and staying at the beach there for a week. Then we will pick up Brin's parents, who are flying into Belem. We'll stay a few days there until finally Brin and her mom will fly to Altamira and I will drive home with Brin's dad and the girls.
Travel on the TransAmazon Highway is always adventurous. It'll be about 600 miles, and should take in the neighborhood of 18 hours. This time of year, washouts and mud are not the problem, but with the dryer weather comes dust. The dust can make the roads slick, as well as eliminating visibility if you get stuck behind a truck or bus. Hopefully our next post will be more about our time at the beach, rather than the adventure it took to get there.

Praying for you as you travel and rest and spend time with Brin's folks. Dad
I prayed for you today. Keep on truckin'. :)
You were in our prayers this morning. Interesting, how they focused on rest and recovery. May the Lord give you both during your vacation. The journey sounds great.
