Rio

I am now in Rio de Janeiro. My friend Rob has a nice apartment here in Ipanema (perfect location) and we have high expectations for the few days ahead.

I had an earlier post regarding the lack of interesting people in first class. Well, on my flight from Lima to Rio, I was in first class (because it was only a 10,000 mile cost) and I had a great time. On the Lima to Sao Paulo leg, I sat next to the daughter of the Peruvian ambassador to Paraguay. On the Sao Paulo to Rio leg, I sat next to an intelligent and beautiful Rio native who did B-School in the US and had a great marketing job with a multinational corporation. I think I will clarify my remarks on the lack of good looking women in first class. There is no lack of them in South America. I guess it is just the US that has the problem.
