Day 15 - January 19: Saying Goodbye

Written By David Green

After a night of celebration in Campo do Jordoa which consisted of apps in a side room then dinner w wine we found ourselves too exhausted to continue past 9pm.

Today we needed to clean up car, get packed, Covid tests and figure out the mo way after throwing it around for weeks. The ride to the airport is long and after the journey, we are all tired both emotionally and physically.

We say tearful goodbyes to our Brazilian family thinking about all we had accomplished and dreaming of the future where we can meet on the Caminho again.
