First Impressions

Oí!
Today was my first day in Rio de Janeiro.  After 15 hours between two flights from New York to Rio I finally made it!  And can I ever be able to put into words how happy I am?  It just so happened that five other people from my CIEE program were on my flight, including Emily Hornsby from Princeton, so I was able to meet some of the other Gringos I would be spending my first few days with.  We arrived, and immediately I was swarmed with a sweltering heat and a confusing chatter of portuguese all around me.  But it was great because I realized that I could actually understand it pretty well.  And the heat? Well I would choose sun over Princeton's white tundra any day.
