We have been in Rio for 2 days now. We have found that most things are ready, the drinking water and ice are ok to consume, and the people are so warm and nice. The weather has been warm during the day and cool at night but still pretty humid. The working environment is similar to the other Olympics that I worked.
Last night (Tuesday) a group of us from our department went to a churrascaria for dinner. What is a churrascaria? It is a Brazilian steak house where meat is brought to you on skewers and you tell the waiter if you would like some. Everyone has a token that is red on one side and green on the other. If you want to have more meat, keep it on the green side. If you don't want any more meat turn it to red. It was all so delicious! We had filet, chicken, sausage, pork, ribs (pork and beef), flank steak, ribeye, and beef tenderloin with cheese. On top of all of that there is always a fantastic salad bar and some hot seafood around the salad bar area. It was a lot of fun to go with a large group to a restaurant like this. We are off to a great start in Rio!
