Yesterday I arrived in Rio for my AASSA teaching conference! My coworker and I left Venezuela on Monday afternoon, spent a couple of hours at the Panama airport, and then caught the red-eye to Rio. We arrived in Rio at 6:30AM and by 7 our private tour guide met us at the airport to take us directly from the airport to see some of the sights.
I’m exhausted now after a full day of touring (our only day that we wont be busy at the conference until 4 or so) so I don’t have the energy to write more. Maybe tomorrow I will have some down time.
It was cloudy and rainy for most of the day in Rio, but the skies cleared enough for us to glimpse the Christ statue from a distance while we were at Sugar Loaf Mountain

I got hired at an AASSA fair in Atlanta! Enjoy the conference, and of course, Rio!

So far it seems like AASSA puts on a really good teaching conference. If I’m ever looking for a job in South America I will have to go to their Atlanta job fair!

I’m hoping to explore a bit more each day. It is hard since we won’t get done at the conference until around 4-5 each day. Suggestions of things to do in the evenings that aren’t too late since we have to catch a bus at 7?
