Ah, Rio! Warm, sunny, beautiful beach and soft sand. After a long plane trip we are here. A few arrived yesterday and two groups came today. Some of us in the early group had a chance to wander around before our first official meeting. Kim, Raida, and I went and got a nice drink right away. Kim got the local guarana soda, Raida got fresh mango and I got something like Acai "ice cream"). It was highly reccommended by the nice Brazilian woman who I sat next to on the plane.
After that I really wanted to get some Haviana flip flops (a true Brazilian specialty). We found a store that sold just Havianas and there were SO many to choose from! They definitely live up to their reputation. Very comfortable and cute.
Then it was off to the beach. We definitely looked like tourists, but we had a great time dipping our toes in the beach and people watching!
We are waiting for the other group to arrive from the airport and then we will have our welcome meeting at 2:00 after which we have the afternoon free.
Will update are later.
