(Steven)

      Well, our time at Turvo was short and sweet. It was interesting seeing the surface differences between the two homes. I didn't realize just how much english was spoken at Enre Rios until we got dropped at Turvo where almost none was spoken. On top of that there wasn't even an english speaker around to translate. Still through that we still developed relationships with the kids and really enjoyed our time.
     One of my favorite things about the place was the siblings. There were four different groups of two or three kids and in all of them they really got a long with each other and spent a lot of time together. It was fun seeing their sibling relationship hold even in the children's home.
    Another fun thing was that the directors son Rumualdo came and stayed in our room with us. He was quite the character and helped make our time there a lot of fun.
    One Sunday the directors other son Allan went and repelled down a water fall that's on the property with a couple of friends and hearing that I did tree climbing thought I might enjoy that so they invited me along. He thought correctly, I did enjoy it.

The waterfall. Note the guy on top. 

Proof that I did it too. 

The pool.

Just for Lenna.

The wash room. 

The shop.

The Kitchen.

 The kids thought I was nuts for this,

 but the reward was this.

Luana became self-conscious around cameras... Juliana loved them .
