I just got into Rio last night after spending two days in Porto Alegre. The soccer game was a blast and it was great to see such an amazing team and some of the most devoted fans in the world. There was not much to do in Porto but it was worth it to see the match. We spent the entire day yesterday making our way to Rio, which was actually quite a hassle. We bought some really cheap plane tickets at the last minute and things did not work out exactly how we wanted them to. We got off our plane when we were not supposed in some random city (we somehow realized our mistake and got back on before it took off), we had a pretty long layover in Sao Paulo, and I accidentally left my leatherman with a huge knife on it in m backpack which I attempted to send through security. It was all a bit of an adventure but we made it to our destination eventually.
I am really excited to start checking out the city and see what Rio has to offer. A friend of mine from D.C. is actuall living here right now and teaching English so I think it will help a great deal to have someone who knows the city. Check back in the next few days for more updates.
