OFF TO RIO DE JENEIRO

New York / New Jersey has been fantastic. We got to experience our first real snow! It was ethereal.

Its been as gastronomical fiesta, super delicate Sushi, Korean, decent Pizza at Lombardis, great Vietnamese and Chinese at home! Yannick , Elena and Kiara have been having a blast! Finally Yannick has the appetite expected of a 11 year old...he's eating the house down and we're worried he's going to eat out our entire travel budget in a month!

We've spend a few days walking around NYC and it is truly fantastic city!

Anyway , now we're off to Rio to start off our Brazil stint. We got our backpacks packed, decided not to carry the tent ( too much weight for potentially too few camping nights) and we're on our way.we have an address of our couch surfing friends and a ticket to Rio. Should be fun given we've been warned no one speaks any English or Spanish!

First thing tomorrow, we find the Chilean Embassy and try and apply for our Chile visa. Fingers crossed! Don't want to have to cut Chile out of our itinerary.

Next post from Rio....
