Daniel's in Brazil

So Daniel and a friend are starting up a business called E.A.S.Y. Going. It's an exchange program that will bring student athletes from Brazil to the USA to play for colleges and universities. A few programs exist like this, but it's very promising. So the two of them (Daniel and Rodrigo) are meeting with clients, investors and doing all sorts of other stuff these next two weeks!
He had such a crazy experience on the way to Brazil, I just had to share.
Cut and pasted from an email he sent me:

"After four hours of flight I was getting tired and a bit achy from seating for a long period of time. I got up from my seat and went back towards the bathroom to stretch by back and legs use the toilet and get a glass of juice (pessego) [peach]. By the way tasted so goood!!! So by having a funny looking shoes I guess this is how everything started. The people that worked from the Tam Airlines started looking at my feet and making comments and pointing to my feet asking a bunch of questions in regards to the five fingers shoes.
Before you know they offer me meals asked to seat down with them talking about different situations that it is going on with Brazil, President Obama's visit here and so forth. Furthermore, they liked me so much that they where able to give me a spot at the first class section. I just didn't believe that was happening. But it did!!!:) I took pictures from every one that befriended in the aircraft. I got here in Guarulhos with no problems passing thru customs, met Wilden (Rodrigo's father) with Rafael (Rodrigo's younger brother) and went to a pizzeria called Zaza to play a prank on Rodrigo.
Wilden spoke with the Oriel,manager from the pizzeria explaining that I was his son's business partner just arrived from USA and would liked to dress me as one of their workers.
Before I know I am all dressed up with red handkerchief in my head and white shirt and pants in the kitchen working. I was cutting tomatoes and flatten and stretching the dough that we ended up using in preparing my pizza of calabreza and catupiri. Rodrigo arrived at the store. I was facing back so he didn't see me at first. Sure enough I turned and asked him what kind of pizza that he would like to eat. It was awesome to see his expression unto his face!"

He hasn't sent pictures, but I'll be sure to post them when he does. It's a little quieter. But I still have the three dogs, a cat and 11 chickens to keep me company!
