Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, the last stop, is a big and exciting city. There is lots to do and see. My only wish is that we had more time in every city we visited. Each city is the same in the sense that we become very attached with our host families, love the city and find it hard to part ways. Some of the sites here in Rio Preto include; A replica of the Jesus Cristo, great shopping, wonderful parks and the Capivara (which looks like a giant rodent) that romps the city freely. I am told that it stays close to the river because of the water. Here in Rio Preto, I was able to visit a printing shop: Steve you will enjoy the info and the new innovative things they are doing here. I also visited a Graphic Arts Company and a Wellness Center, Espaço A (http://www.espacoaspa.com.br/). The entire team was treated to a massage (what a way to spend some free time!). A special thank you to Paula and her entire staff for making us feel so special and to Geisler Chbane Bosso for making this possible. So, if you are ever visiting Sao Jose do Rio Preto in Brazil, make sure you visit the surrounding towns of Fernandopolis, Jales, Santa Fé, Jau, Lins, Bady Bassit, and Adolfo!
Enjoy the pictures!



You certainly look like your enjoying your visit to Brazil. Please confirm the day and time you arrive home. To all of the GSE members – a safe and pleasant trip home!
