My Adventures in Rio de Janeiro - Day 1

After 9 hours on a plane orginating in Atlanta, GA, my sister, Lezlea, and I arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil at 8:35 AM, Saturday, May 16, 2009. We were greeted at the airport by our Great Uncle Guy (and I do mean Great!) and his daughter, Julia.

After visiting for a while and then taking some time to rest, Marcia took us to a beautiful park not far from where they live. It was a little cloudy that day but at least cool (May is the beginning of Brasil's winter). You can't really see the beauty of the area in pictures. You have to be there.


This is Marcia, Uncle Guy's wife. She is brasilian and quite a wonderful hostess too. She was so awesome at helping us to plan our time and the places to go. She took us quite a few places herself. In addition, she is a wonderful cook!











These are all pictures just around this lake park area. Very beautiful!
