Arrived safely in Rio de Janeiro -258

Mike and Jean were able to leave early this morning from Vilhena and were nearly halfway to Rio de Janeiro when we found out that the airport that they were heading to, was in fact closed. So the guys’ flight plan was adjusted and they headed to Maricá Airport, just east of the famous Baia de Guanabara (Rio Bay)…landing just before sunset.

We expect the guys to catch their breath first after today, and go and have a night on the town if they have the energy…so as soon as we get any posts from them we will update the website.
