Well, Rio, you did it! I think I am still in shock. I am the first to admit when I am mistaken and in this case I certainly was - I did NOT think that Rio would be awarded the games, but I sure am glad it was.
I had a tear in my eye as I watched - up until the part when I saw Lula, red faced, bawling uncontrollably into a handkerchief, at the press conference and then at that point I switched to laughing... So cute. Brazil certainly brings the passion!!! I wish I could have been down on Copacabana with the masses, celebrating.
Now comes the hard part, and it will be interesting to see how Rio pulls it off. No matter what the outcome, the 2016 Olympics are sure to be picturesque, entertaining and one of a kind. I hope this brings about changes for the better for Rio.
I didn't think Rio would make it either...we even made a bet @ work...ahaha..which I loss...I though Chicago or Madri would be chosen.
I'm so happy and proud...although I'm from Recife, as a brazilian I feel represented by Rio!
Beijo pra você.

Yay! Yesterday WAS a great day, people running out into the street shouting "Rio!, Rio!"...all of the bars filled up from 2pm on into late in the night spilling out onto the streets with tons of people wearing their yellow and green t-shirts, smiles all around, toasting this wonderful event. At my son's school they painted faces with brasilian colors. A very exciting time for Rio and well deserved! Super happy about this.
