Business Trip Extraordinaire--Day 19

Helicopter at the trade show. I don't know what type or whose.

It was a decent day at the trade show. It was a slow taxi ride to the show, and it was a much slower ride from the show back to town. It seems there were multiple accidents at key points, including the Rio-Niterói bridge, that crippled traffic throughout the city. Fortunately, we have a great taxi driver named Bernardo who used his phone to network with his colleagues and find out about all the problems, and he knew a back way.

Tonight we had dinner together at Churrascaria Carretão. What a great place! They had all-you-can-eat meat, like Brazilian restaurants in the U.S. have. It was much less expensive than some of the other top-rated churrasco places in Rio, but I can't imagine how it would be better.

I'm sad to hear that Tracy is sick tonight with flu-like symptoms. Please pray for her. She has a big job taking care of the kids and house alone while I'm gone.
