Day 3 (3 February 2015) in Belem, Brazil

Big problem. This morning we went to the site and for the reason I do not understand it yet, we can't start doing our job. Acacio told me we have to go to Botanica office and talk the general director of the campus. After a lot of traffic hassle we arrived at the Botanica. We follow the procedure to see him, i.e., we went to the reception and the receptionist called the director office. We were told to wait and we sat down, and a moment letter the director office called the receptionist and informed us that since we do not have schedule to see the director, he can't see us today as he has other meetings. Thus we returned back with nothing.
We went back to the campus to see the lady whom we had a meeting with yesterday but her secretary told us she went for a meeting with general director (the guy who did not have time to see us). Hopefully they raise our issue on their meeting. While we were hopelessly waiting to meet one of the director (who had a meeting with us last Monday), Flavio (one of the administrative chief who showed us the site at our first visit) suggested that he can talk the deputy general director on the phone. We hopelessly said ok (because at that point we were deciding to change our flight to Petrolina and comeback on Sunday, hoping the permission will go through until then) and followed him to his office. He did call her and proposed to let us make the installation while the permission process is underway, she generously agreed. We rushed to the site with a few more human power to start digging. We accomplished significant amount of work

 Look how much we did after we get the go ahead green light!

 This how many people participated!

Another good sign is the INPE director is now aware of our issues and he called the general director of the campus  (again the guy who did not have time to see us) but he couldn't got in touch with him as he was on the meeting, but he left a message, hopefully he calls back. Now 1:03 pm local time we are waiting, waiting, and waiting, though the time is ticking and ticking. Let's see what will happen tomorrow.
