On the first day we got a cab driver from the airport in Rio de Janeiro. The flight to get there was first four hours, and then we had to wait three hours at the Huston airport, then our flight was ten hours. The ten hour flight was really cool because the seats went all the way back like a bed so we could sleep on the plane. Our cab driver in Rio was really cool because it was a cab and a tour. Our room number was 708. And then we went to the pool and had lunch and after lunch I went swimming. We stayed there for a while and then we went to the beach. It's really cool because the beach was right across from our hotel. My mom and I saw a lot of people at the beach because it was a holiday. There was also a lot of people selling things to buy. We went to one guy and got Cotten candy but it was really hard because he did not speak English. P.s. In Brazil they speak Portuguese. After the beach we went home and got ready for dinner.
