Today is another long driving day as we head up the coast of Brazil towards Olinda.  We head off shortly before 8 AM and drive all day with s brief lunch stop along the way.  We arrive in Olinda just after 6 PM.  Things are a bit of a mess - the hotel we are staying at has given away some of our rooms, so Flip and Mike need to run around and try to get rooms for everyone.  In the end, we are spread over 3 or 4 hotels.

After settling into our rooms and taking a quick shower, we head into town to have a bite to eat.  Olinda is one of the oldest in South America and the old town center has been quite well preserved.  We look forward to exploring the town in the morning.
