Gui and Juliana Visit

Gui and his girlfriend Juliana came over from Brazil. It was the first time we met Juliana although we had heard about her from Gui. We really liked her even though she did not know how to row! The two had to do a lot of shopping, but we managed to find some time to tour Winterthur, one of the DuPont estates in Wilmington.

Ready to go shopping!
It was the greatest shot with both Gui and Juliana on the phone, but then Gui got rid of his quickly after seeing my camera!
Anisa was excited to head to the Outlet Mall with Juliana.
Last minute piano playing before going shopping.
Gui trying to figure out where to get an ipad. It turns out that since it was Fathers Day weekend, they were all out of stock.
Linda with her bargain buys.
Back from shopping, Anisa shows off her new shirt.

The main dining room. Apparently DuPont himself picked the china, table settings and flowers for dinners.....must have had too much time on his hands.

So these guys shaved their heads and wore wigs. Gui says it is because of the lice.
