Cathy Travels To Far Away Places.

Cathy recently began working for Robbins And Myers which is a Company that makes pumps for energy, industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical markets in 14 different countries. While Cathy is not into pump making, her job is internal auditing. Below are a few paragraphs on her most recent trip to South America.

"I recently made a trip to the warmer areas of the world and visited Brazil and Venezuela for work. I first visited Brazil and it was my first trip to South America. I enjoyed the time there and loved the people. I spent most of my time in Taubate, a city about 1.5 hours outside of Sao Paulo. The best thing that I discovered is that McDonalds in Brazil serves Banana Pie!

The trip to Venezuela provided a much needed break from the snow in Dayton. It was a quick trip and I spent time in Caracas and Maracaibo. The challenging part of working in Venezuela was the rolling blackouts enacted by the government to conserve energy. In Maracaibo, our plant's blackout time was 3p-5p and then we discovered our hotel's blackout time was 5p-7p.

Unfortunately, the trip home was delayed by snow in Atlanta. It was an unusual sight to see that much snow from the hotel room in Atlanta!

I am really looking forward to my upcoming trips to Canada and Scotland."
