Welcome to Ilhabela - the beautiful island!
...early in the morning we met local athletes who joined us for the run across the island...
...a school class arrived just to see us taking off...
...a quick presentation...
...and we passed the torch...
...the first steps...
...it was a beautiful running route along the sea shore...
...our athlete friends came up with a good pace...
...a nice view from the island to the mainland...
...several times people awaited us for high five and to get a glimpse of the peace torch...
...we arrived at the first school: "E.M. Prof. Maria Thereza de Freitas"...
...an enthusiastic welcome...
...we went up in the hall, which was beautifully decorated with artwork and drawings...
...poems...
...the kids and teachers enjoyed the passing of the torch...
...a school stampede...
Thank you "E.M. Prof. Maria Thereza de Freitas" for the enthusiastic meeting!
Back in the city of Ilhabela we paid a short visit to the mayor: thank you for receiving the torch!
...a nice side trip to a small Marine museum...
...a perfect place for a lunch break...
