I had a long day interviewing farmers and how they use their harvesters - or rather, listening to them talk to the translator. I'm not sure if I'm learning any Portuguese, but at least I know how to say "Sorry" and "Thank You" now. The language is really beautiful, and I wish it was spoken in more places to justify learning it.
We ate at a churrascaria today for lunch - apparently a direct translation is "Running meat sticks". Luckily the restaurant had a buffet, so I had some sweet potatoes, some sort of white yam, white rice and black beans. You can see some photos on my Flickr account.
Tomorrow we head to a farm, and then back to Cuiaba (yes!).
