Phew!  I´m leaving home in ten minutes to catch the bus Translitoral to Cumbica International airport.

Here are some photos I took from friends and students friends on my last days here.

 This is Aline, my niece, checking out my packing!!

 This is Lucia, my assistant, who truely helped me out with my packing! She's good at it!

 Almost done!

 

This is the agency where I got my tickets from.  They are located right next to my English and Portuguese course in Santos.  Besides being in a very convenient place for me, they were also very helpful. Thank you!

 This is my classroom and office, where I spend and enjoy many hours of my day.

 This is one of my students, beach tennis instructor and friend, Marcus Vinicius.  He's number 20 in the world in beach tennis, a very fast growing sport. Congratulations Marcus! He's also recently played in Munich and Stuttgart on an international tournament.

 This is Tatiana, a very dear person and one of my newest students.  She's taking an intensive course with me for her travel to Europe just now in August.  I'm learning a lot from her, too.  She had made plans to travel with her boyfriend and life changed their plans.  He is having to go through some health treatment and she is going to travel with a friend of theirs.  This was a real lesson for me, a reminder that we have to accept the changes in life. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Soon, you will be travelling together. I know.

This is Celso, a very dedicated student and very good person, too. His wife is not here, but the same goes for her.

 This is Tatiana a good friend of mine who I shared my first travel plans with. She works in this beauty salon as a masseur and I'm one of her clients. I love her massages. It's a present I give myself once a week.  I try to choose Mondays.

These are pictures of my parents and my grandma with my dad.  They are my little angels and will be travelling with me.

On the bus, on the way to Cumbica airport.

Finally at the aiport, waiting to board.  See you soon'
