We have made it safe and sound to the beautiful city of Rio! We are staying at a great hostel in a bohemian neighborhood called Santa Teresa that is on a hill over looking the city. It is right on the edge of lapa which is known for it's great restaurants and night life. Yesterday we went by bus to corcovado which is the Christ statue that over looks the city. There was amazing views of the beaches and different areas of the city. They have built a trolley to get up to the top through the forest which was very nice. The public bus in the city is great it is very frequent and easy to navigate minus the fact that they drive like maniacs:) Last night we wandered through the shops in Santa Teresa and went to a brazilian restaurant and enjoyed a typical dish of rice, meat stew and some green vegetable. You all will be impressed by how much Glenn is venturing out in the food department:) Today it is once again 40 degrees so we are going to head to the beach in Impanema. That's all for now!
