We went to Policia Federal in the afternoon but no success. We returned and we went to play soccer in the rain. On the bus ride into Policia Federal, right in Saco Grande, we saw a body in the street covered with a white sheet. This is just one of the many stories that we never find out what happened. That is the crazy thing. We never find out the end of the story, the rest of the story. What happened to the girl on the motorcycle who hit the wall? What happened to cause this person to die in the middle of the road in the middle of Saco Grande? We walk this street all the time to go to the mall. Dwana and I both looked at each other as the bus just drove around the body as if it were a parked car. What a way to start you day. We were dropped off near Angeloni and walked the short distance to the Federal Police to try and renew our Brasilian Visa, but no luck. I guess you must show up Bem Cedo, very early, before 7am to acquire a senha or ticket to come back in the afternoon. Oh well. We went to Angeloni and had lunch and then caught the bus back. In the evening, we decided to run to the jungle development and play soccer. The skies were darkening and had been cloudy all day. Ezra said he saw lightning. You could tell a storm was coming, but I thought it would not erupt on us. I was wrong! 10 minutes after we arrived the storm unleashed another torrent, and we spent the next hour watching lightning strikes and listening to thunder booms over the jungle in the comforts of the bus shelter. The rains lessened and we made our way home. Rain leaked in our place.
