And It Has Begun!



Well we have made it to Brazil safe and sound after 34 hours of travel! Our longest layover was in Salt Lake City where we spent nine hours of wandering, playing crazy 8´s, and having the unbelivably/frustratingly lucky Mitch beat me in yatzee. Out of 9 games I managed to win one! After that stint we headed to Atlanta and watched the sun rise through the glass of the /´busiest airport in the world.´The name seems fitting as the airport was so large we had to take a train to get from one side to the other. We then took a 10 hour flight to Guaralhos, which is 25 km from Sau Paulo. We worked our broken portuguesen enough to gradually get a taxi to a hotel where we thankfully rested our heads if not our minds. Very exciting times! We have met a lot of nice people so far who have helped us out. Not a lot of english speaking people, so we are using our dictionary a lot. We are now waiting for a bus to head to Paraty (which to our embarrassment we later found out is pronounced Para-chi) which leaves in half and hour. In Six hours we will FINALLY be at the beach where we belong! That´s all for now!
