24 Hours of Travel

In the name of saving money Terry and I booked a flight from Miami to Costa Rica to Peru to Brazil with long layovers and lots of down time. This may not have been the best idea, but all is good in hindsight. Anyhow, after lots of bumpy flights and multilingual flight attendants repeating the safety information two or three times to account for the language barriers we finally arrived in Rio de Janeiro. We have just been walking around trying to figure things out and get acclimatized, but it has been an experience. The people seem to be very nice, and like in Asia, love loud, gaudy, American music and sitting outside drinking beers in the middle of the day. All for now...
