CTM grounds and local

The Recanto Ebinezer retreat center was located 56 km south of Curitiba Brazil in the mountains and in a farm setting. The mornings and evenings were cool and midday was hot. Shorts and sandels for sure in the afternoons. Front of main bld.




Back of main bld. Gail taught in bottom left classroom, I taught in bottom right one and the top is the cafeteria.

Beautiful country side. Much like Va mountains. May see farmers plowing with mules.











We had an outing at a local pool/water park. The Araucaria (Parana Pinetree) is very abundant in this state of Parana. They are everywhere.
