Imagine you want to take a survey of the counties nearest to where you live. You're looking to see what churches have works in which cities. Easy enough, right? You whip out your tablet and hunt around on Google Maps. Then you can do some checking for Facebook pages for churches in the cities and towns your researching. Easy peasy! You can even go to the old Yellow Pages website and hunt around. Add in a general web search and you're all set. Not so easy in Northeast Brazil! Many places are just not on the map. Big places, little towns with 200 - 300 houses full of people are not listed on most maps. Google Maps often won't take you properly from Point A to Point B. And once you head down a highway, it quickly goes from asphalt to dirt and rock with no signs telling you what's ahead and where that side road runs off to. If you stop to ask directions, you get a wide variety of answers about what's down the road....

Welcome

Our Pajero "camper" on our first crazy trip in 2017 If you just happened upon this little blog or came over from my personal Cactus Flower blog, first of all WELCOME! Originally this was a travel log of our big road trip all around mid-south Brazil in April of 2017 in a Mitsubishi Pajero. Around October of 2017 Byron traveled to the northern states of Pará and Manaus and visited four of the major rivers of the Amazon River system. He traveled by car, bus, slow boat, fast boat, small plane and commercial jet, UBER taxi and motorcycle. It seemed appropriate to publish his exploits. There are a series of posts about that trip. Other posts from the fall of 2017 are about our survey trip around the back roads of Northern Bahia in the good old Pajero. Currently Byron and I (Michele) are traveling around the interior of Bahia near Sobradinho, Juazeiro and Sento Sé surveying and evangelizing towns and villages that have no Bible witness. We go m...

Toca da Barriguda Cave

My husband and I live in the little interior town of Sobradinho - Bahia. To be quite honest there isn't a whole lot to speak of when it comes to tourism. There's the giant electric dam and its resulting great big reservoir which is supposedly the biggest in Latin America. There's a place way down a dirt road with some cave drawings on a few rocks where if there is a good rainy season you can enjoy a small waterfall. And there are lots of goats and sheep. Fazenda Campo Verde But not too far from us is the town of Campo Formoso which is full of caves and interesting rock formations. Many of the caves are poorly marked and hardly explored. Websites tell you that it's best to hire a guide. That's very true. You'll need one just to figure out where to turn off the road because of the lack of signs. I think there used to be nice signs, but the local guides took them down to help the industry - their industry. I could be enti...
