Hello everyone,

I've been away on a business trip in Brazil -- five different cities -- promoting a textbook series that I was a part of. While I was gone, I managed to check in to Teddy Talk three or four times just to see what everyone has been doing.

All I have to say is this: You all make beautiful bears!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

It was such a pleasure to take those short breaks from work and travel. They always left me with a big smile on my face.   bear_original

It was a successful trip for me and my books, but I have to admit that I was completely spoiled by the warmth of the people (and weather) in Brazil, and by the fantastic food! I will certainly go back if I get the chance.

How exciting!!!  I LOVE Brazil, spent my honeymoon there.  We were in northern Brazil in the Manaus area.  I agree, I'd go back in a heartbeat!  bear_wub

Hi Becky,

So glad you enjoyed the -succesful- trip.  bear_thumb

Brazil seems to be quite an amazing country : one of my colleagues who retired from work, married a Brazilian woman and went to live there.  We hardly ever see him anymore  :crackup: .

Though I doubt there is much teddy-bear action in Brazil ??  bear_grin

Hugs,  :hug:

Sounds like you had a great and succesful adventure.   The youth group from my church is going on a mission trip to Brazil in March.  I was hoping to go, but it didn't work out .   Maybe someday bear_original

That's a very good question. I don't think I've noticed any TT members from Brazil, or heard about shows (in Latin America in general). If anyone out there can fill us in... bear people want to know!  bear_original

It's nice to be back and to hear from all of you,
:hug:
