Hot on the heels of the last bunch, the first batch from Rio are up and ready to go...
Yesterday we visited a Favela (actually 2, of the 950 in Rio). I won't say too much as I'll cover it in more detail when time permits. Anyway, take a look and as always, comments very welcome!
Hopefully make some of you realise what life can be like when you fall through the cracks.
Today, Statue of Christ and Sugar Loaf... If the low cloud leaves us alone!
Speak to you all later.
P.S on the subject of speaking, I've added the Skype status buttons to the site (see right), if were online you should be able to click to dial us.

Hello both. Pics are absorbing and I initially thought they were of Kirkby! Joking aside - yes they're living in less than ideal conditions, but - are we any happier for all our luxuries? I doubt it. Most people in the Uk won't even know such places exist. A great experience for you both. Thought the modern cathedral was novel, and loved the all-consuming wiring everywhere. Do they HAVE building reg's out there? Enjoy your time there, and remember - Jesus loves you. Dad :-)
Amazing pics of the cathedral other parts not so inspiring.Thank goodness for TITHE CLOSE.Fab views both looking well.Take care Love Mum X and Rob
Hi Both. Great pictures. Have a slight overcrowding problem there! I agree with mark that the pictures were asorbing and make you think. There seems to be great contrast between poverty and money in the differences of the buildings. Cathederal looks really interesting. Hope you are both enjoying yourselves. Look foward to the next update and more photos. Take care and lots of love Mum & Dad. XXX
