Here I am today at our store in Rio. Amway is using a new concept in South America - Stores to show off the products...
I'm on the left, then next to me is Admilson, he is the foreman on the site. To the left of him is Edson and then the rest, I don't know their names. The guy on the far right is as cool as he looks in the picture. He works hard, but always has a smile on his face and loves to make jokey faces. He cracks me up, but I can't understand a word he says.
My "its a small world" or "its a small Rio" story involves four of these guys. On Saturday night a cab driver told me I should go to Fair Sao Christovia (which is pronounced fasakoava - only faster). Its a huge deal that's kind of county fair, meets, flee market, meets craft show meets local talent show meets beer tent. It was fun, and a great place to see what people in Rio do for fun...SO, I'm standing there watching a bit of the show and the people dancing and these 4 guys start talking to me, I didn't recognize them, but they kept talking to me, I was convinced they were four thugs that were going to take me to the "American" side of the city (IYKWIM). Anyway, they finally said their company name enough times that I caught on and I was so shocked I knew some people there. Very nice guys, and we had fun, even though I think we only exchanged 7 words all night.
Here we are at the fair:
Samba on Cats!

Those guys look like they could just about do any constuction job, but also know where to go for a good time (you too!).
