After a very long trip, a couple lay-overs, and a right plane engine that wouldn't start... We made it to brazil! We spent yesturday in Sao Paulo at the Ceasar, near the airport. The hotel was amazing! (a compound none the less - it even had a mote around it) We spent the day playing basketball, swimming, and eating. The service here is extraordinary! Today we checked out of our first hotel and flew to Foz do Iguacu. (We got a whole meal on a 1.5 hr flight) I thought the hotel yesturday was crazy... well this one... is waybetter! I've never been in something like this... ok so I know i need to travel a bit more... but they have a whole bird zoo, with tucans and ostridges and red turtles. They also have a spa (I'm getting a 30min massage for like $15can in 20 min) They've got a rock climbing wall, and tennis courts, and archery! It's nuts... So anyways since we're supposed to be setting up I'd better get some real work done... Our opening dinner is later tonight and then tomorrow we take a tour of the falls and go through our lightening round presentations to the judges... Wish us luck!
We're Here!!!
