From the shipyard to the beach!!!

Today we woke up with a shining sun, no clouds, no wind, and no more tropical rain...!!!!
We love Brazil!
The lesson of this morning was about the Brazilian pharmaceutical system of innovation. We were a little bit sleepy because of the few hours of sleeping (we are very diligent students and we do our homeworks at night!), but the interesting lesson gave us the possibility of learning something new about the pharmaceutical field... Brazilian companies are specialized in the production of general drugs, we didn't know it but thanks to the knowledge and the kindness of professor Julia Paranhos even today we have enrich our awareness about Brazilian economy.
So it's arrived the time of launch!!! Finally we tried the typical Brazilian way of launch. So there is a buffet where you can take every thing you want and then they weight your full dish, and at the end you pay refer to the weight. Brazilian food is really very good!!!
After launch we have taken our bus and reached Technolabor in Sao Gonçalo.
It's a company specialized in the production of steel products for the oil and gas, refinery, nuclear and naval industries. Its main customer is Petrobras, the second petroleum company in Latin America and the fifth mondial strenght. They offered us something good to eat and to drink ( typical Brazilian fruit juices which are very tasty!!!) After that they showed us a power point presentation about the company; it was like a lesson where they let us understand the functioning of such an important production. Than they led us trough a direct visit of the shipyard.



It was very hot and what was impressing is that workers were able to work standing the suffocating hot.
At the end we deserved a dip in the sea and a wonderful sunset on the beach of Niteroi!
