Aniversario de Pedrinho
A few Saturday´s back, a boy from Church called Pedro turned four years old. He is therefore known as Pedrinho or ´little Pedro´. He has become my little buddy and although I don´t always follow what he is saying, we are good mates.
He had a Batman themed party held at a condo in Vitória. A table full of sweets, hotdogs, torta and bolo (cake); there was plenty to stuff yourself with.
I was surprised and shocked to find out that Pedro wasn´t Pastor Loiola´s son, which I had always assumed seeing as they take care of him. (Pr Loiola preaches at our church). He is actually Pr Loiola´s son´s child, the result of an careless night out. So Pedro´s mother is with her other boyfriend and Pedro is being raised by his grandparents. These cases only become apparent after some time, and it´s always sad to discover them. If anything, it made me grateful for the fact that I am not in a similar situation. In fact, I´m the only one from the Australian exchange students here that doesn´t have split parents.
That was just a quickie, and just to cap off, the first Brazilian to go to space took off yesterday. Marcos Pontes. The launch was last night (just before I called home to check dad´s result). Click here to see the launch. Marcos will be at the international space station for eight days, before returning back to Earth. Cool isn´t it!
This is Pedro!
