Mexico '09 Day 8

We met Maruicio Werner and his lovely family at the Resort. Their daughters, Maria & Elena, we were so cute and we would see them all over the resort. We struck up a conversation in the lobby where we each were surfing the Internet and checking e-mail.

He is an author, public speaker and motivational/sales coach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His website is http://mauriciowerner.com.br/ however, you will need Google Translate unless you speak Portuguese. They are not wealthy, but spend the money they do have to travel the world. One of Maruico's books is titled "While some cry .. others sell handkerchief - everything is a question of opportunities".

We didn't spend too much time together, but they were so nice - we had to invite them to come visit Colorado. They returned the offer and suggested that we go to Rio to celebrate Carnival.

Our last day was a bit cloudy, as you can see once our flight took off, but we still had a great time. Next trip will be to Italy, or Rio...can't wait...
