Rio de Janeiro!!

Oi!! Marla and I have successfully made it to South America!! All our flights went well, and we landed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil late yesterday morning. We are blessed to be able to stay with some friends of mine from previous trips to Brazil. We are staying with Cedric and Katia, and their super cute daughter, Louisa! Right away yesterday we went into Rio de Janeiro and travelled to Sugar Loaf mountain, by way of a suspended cable car. On top, there were beautiful views of the city - we will try to upload pictures when we get a chance. We were able to catch up on some sleep last night which was nice after an overnight flight followed by a day sightseeing. We are now trying to coordinate our sightseeing with the weather to make the most of our time. Cedric and Katia are preparing a delicious lunch of fish and shrimp and then we will head out on the town once again!!
