Mom and Dad headed down to Brazil for the Cowboys game against the Ravens on September 27. We left home on the 23rd but the flights were so long we didn't arrive in Rio until the late afternoon of the 24th. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we checked in, grabbed dinner, and headed to bed so we could rest up for our early tour to Christ Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. It was a bit chilly in the morning and on top of the mountain but the views were breathtaking. Saturday we spent exploring the city of Rio and walked by the beach. Sunday was the game and Dad's birthday! What an experience. We had an extremely difficult time finding our seats and the language barrier did not help. Fortunately, we made it to the seats before kickoff. Even if the outcome of the game was not what we wanted, we enjoyed attending an overseas game! On our return flight we had more travel disruption when our flight was cancelled and we ended up stranded in Sao Paulo.
We were so glad to finally return home on Thursday even though it was a longer travel experience than we planned. Fortunately, the girls (and pups) were well taken care of because Bibi & Jorge came up from San Antonio to stay with them while we were out of town. Brazil was definitely beautiful and a great way to celebrate Dad's birthday.
Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
