First Day in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro

Hi All,

How was your flights? Well, mine was exhausting. But, after 10 hrs trying to squeeze some comfort out of an airplane seat I was rewarded with the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro. Not too shabby! As a fan of Bossa Nova, I was tear-eyed to finally see where Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Morais wrote classics such as Girl from Ipanema and Samba do Avião, which is the song I was singing in my head as the plane landed. Click here - Samba do Avião. Songs that were dear to me growing up, gained a new meaning because now I know what the composers were talking about. Okay, I know this is corny but go along with me for second, will you? LOL

I called Dr. Peres as soon as I got the apartment and scheduled our first meeting. I am excited to finally start working on his project. To close the day, I went out for a walk at Ipanema beach, which is a skip and a hop from my building ... Jealous? What are y'all up to?

  1. I am glad you made it safe and YES I am jealous you are so close to the beach :(.

    Cuernavaca is nice so far it rains at night and during the day is a bit humid.

    You can still Imessage me if your phone is connected to a wireless network.


    How is the roommate?
