Flights to Patos

It has been announced that as from August of this year three flights a week will start operating between Recife International Airport and our airstrip in Patos. We are told that a proper airport building is to be built so as to turn it into a proper airport as the runway is fine for Boeing 737s and smaller jets like that. The company to fly to Patos is Azul/Blue. This will be a great help to the likes of us when we travel to the UK as we will be able to fly from Patos to Recife and then from Recife to Heathrow via Lisbon. It should make things a lot easier cutting out the long journey by road to the airport.

As I foresaw would happen with the third wave of Covid infections on the rise, church in-person services have been suspended again by the State of Paraíba government amongst a wide range of restrictive lockdown measures to try and bring the spread of Covid more under control and save lives. Once again President Bolsonaro is against these restrictive measures so it's just as well we have a sensible Governor. A curfew has been reintroduced from 10 pm to 5 am as well.

Our son-in-law Witagiby (Biba) has a light version of the Covid-19 virus so he should be all clear by next week. Douglas from Matureia (aged 30) is improving too in hospital from Covid. We thank you for your prayers.
