Exhibition Opening in Florianopolis
On the night we got back from our trip to Pantanal and Belo Horizonte, we went straight out to an exhibition opening. We received a personal invitation from Senhor Cipriano, the artist, which was very kind of him.

It was a really enjoyable and interesting experience on a number of accounts.

1. It was great to see all the paintings together. Sr. Cipriano has a number of styles and had produced over 30 paintings for this exhibition.

2. There were more than the paintings to enjoy. There was a choir singing (very impressive) and a lady making lace, since some of the paintings were about lace making.

3. We bumped into a couple of people who we hadn't seen for 30 years. The exhibition was held in the offices of a bank and both the people were directors of the bank. 30 years ago, they were John's students and they still recognised him!

4. The drinks and eats were great!

All in all a good night out!
