Day 22 - To Rio

Buenos! Today we slept in a bit, packed up and headed to the domestic airport in Buenos Aires. We got to the airport super early as we did not know what to expect! We sat in a cafe for two hours and did some homework, drank tea, and ate a delicious vegetable "tarta". Our plane was delayed, but after three hours in the air we landed in Rio de Janeiro! Immediately after customs, we walked through the duty free shop which was FILLED with Rio 2016 Olympics memorabilia. Very very cool. Mariano greeted us in baggage claim, guided us to an ATM to get REAL (Brazilian currency), and then showed us to our private car (thanks mom)! He gave us some insight to all things Rio on our way to the Hotel Excelsior. Once we arrived at the hotel Mariano set us up with two tours for our couple of days in Rio! We cannot wait to see what this city has to offer! We arrived late, so we just ordered some food to the room, and are waking up early tomorrow to EXPLORE! Madison
