Every night we put on an elaborate evening program after dinner. Two people are responsible for the idea, the planning and the implementation but everyone is present to help supervise. Programs have been events like putting on a Carnival in Rio, playing traditional games from Portugal, staging a game show, geo-caching in the Amazon and simulating a triple border crossing with exchange rates between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. It's an extraordinary amount of work but always interesting to see what the other counselors come up with.
Tonight, however, we all breathed a sigh of relief because it was universally decided upon that our evening program would be "Noite em Casa" which means that there is not evening program and that the time is spent having a "Girls' night" or "Guys night" in our cabins. The campers get to decide what they want to do and the girl campers in my cabin decided on chocolate fondue, nail painting and bracelet making. It was a huge success and also fairly relaxing in comparison with the normal routine.

There also happened to be a fabulous sunset tonight - never get tired of those here. Boa noite!
