Who would've thought that it would take over 30 hours to get to Nova Prata from San Francisco.
The extreme weather change from sunny and hot to rain and extremely cold overnite.
The "rockstar" attention that the people of Nova Prata were extending to all the performers.
The truly international "feel" of the festival where the "Easter Island Group" were made up of people from that region and not by filipina-americans.
The Rondalla playing on the edge of the stage at Serafina Correa after the power outage, in order to keep the crowd entertained.
Churrascaria food-nuff said
Not once did I ever shell out money for food and lodging. (except for ice cream and cookies, they don't count as real food)
The uphill trek from the book fair back to the hostel, while carrying instruments on your back.
Staying in the same room with 10 other guys for two weeks, that's a lot of testosterone.
kj- incessant meddling with everything and anything. (wink wink Bry)
Thinking about Ernie while Randy and I scarf down on some very good tasting meat.
The 9 am rehearsal call everyday....uuugghhh
Bar Tupi-Raise the Glass.
$1.50 cigarette packs
Christian's capoeira moment on stage-way to represent brutha.
10 minute limit on the one and only internet computer.
The Lithuanian girls-NICE!
The Thai girls-NICE!
The peeps-OK Lang
The Brazilians-very friendly
The South Africans-very musical and somewhat rowdy
The Chinese-never mind
But the one thing I will take from this experience is the fact that everyone complemented our group, saying it was the best of the festival and the friendships, old and new that came out of this trip. I'm honored to be able to participate in this and for that I'm truly grateful.

Kick ass!
And Bryan told me about the Rondalla moment. You guys rule. :)
hehehhehehe..."kj".
That's what I'm talking about. Even the old guys can appreciate an awesome trip like that and not be jaded.
John-you know me, I always look for the positive things out of a trip, since I like traveling so much. If we can only do away with long lay overs, then it will be all good.
like i mentioned before...no matter what drama, or little disagreements, sickness, etc...this trip was well worth it. i am honored that i spent the last 2 weeks with the likhettes. obrigado!!!
