On a sadder note, the other night Fabricio, Monalisa, Naia and I were reminiscing about past Mutirões, looking at pictures from 2000 and 2002 in my computer, when we came across the picture at left. It turns out that Tio, the fellow seated on the right, was stabbed to death at his birthday party about a year ago. He is the first person I've been acquainted with to die a violent death. Rest in peace, Tio.

Holidays and R.I.P.
The São João Festival is fast approaching, and people are already gearing up for it. Two "warm-up" holidays are "Dia de Namorado" (their equivalent to Valentine's Day) on June 12, and "Dia de Corpus Christi" on June 11. Yesterday was also Paulinho's birthday (14yo), and tomorrow is Antônia's birthday (78yo). One of Antônia's daughters arrived yesterday on a surprise visit from Juazeira. Lots of her other kids and grandkids who I don't see too often have been around the house, as well. This weekend promises to be one long party! (And little work done on the Quilombo :-(
