24 hrs. of travel later: Rio!

Greetings from Rio!  Lots to see and do, so this will be short.  We are excited to start the first leg of our trip.  As I sit in a hostel with a french-man (Thomas) and a Chilean ( Enrique) drinking tea, I feel I can exhale for the first time in months.  This has been a long time coming and I can say proudly, that I made it.  Of course, not without the help of my family, friends and Christina.  Some inital pics and video below.

First of many.
