First trip to south america

finally made it to rio. After a 3.5 hour flight to houston and a 10 hour red eye to rio we made it. We have a small apartment here for the week. Its in a town called botofoga which is a north of the famous copacabana and ipanenema beaches. It actually is a bay and our room has a nice view of it. It rained a little bit which kept us away from the beach today and we just headed to the market, caught up on sleep and then hitup a brazilian bbq spot. I guess its the famous one here and everyone knew about it. It was straight up meat coma, with plenty of sides that reminded me of eating korean food when the table is just full of sides. Still getting adjusted to being in ´travel´ mode and the fact that everyone speaks portugese to us...ughh...we will struggle through it with hand signals i guess.
