It didn't feel right to go to the beach in my "p-day" clothes after being a missionary for two years in Fortaleza, so I went in my my church clothes. Just kidding. We are actually on our way to the Recife Temple. How many people can say they have to walk along the beach to get to the temple? The taxi ride to the temple was interesting because the driver told us a little about the city. When we drove past the largest hospital in Recife he grimly told us that 90% of all the the emergency calls to the hospital are because of motorcycle accidents. Driving in Recife for 10 minutes will tell you enough information that 90% is a low estimate of motorcycle accidents. The problem is that motorcycles are cheap and anyone can afford one as long as they have a job. This means that there are a lot of immature guys on the streets causing a lot of trouble.
