Arrived in Rio

After a 4 hour delay in Sao Paulo, we arrived in Rio. It is pretty amazing the logistics that go into an event like this. We were greeted at the airport by the Games organizers and shuttled through passport control and customs. Here is a picture of our pistols being confiscated (Brazilian law will not allow us to have the gun outside of the shooting range).

Next, we waited in a pretty long line to board the buses to the village. There were lines everywhere, but all in all things moved very quickly.

After that, it was about a 30 minute bus ride through Rio to the Athlete village.

Rio's roads are very crowded so the organizers have blocked off a lane on all major roads for Pan Am vehicles. That really facilitates quick transportation throughout the city and to all venues.

Here is the Athlete Village where the athletes from all countries stay:

There was high security to check into the athlete village as well:

Dennis and I are on the seventh floor of our apartment building:

So that is all for photos today. I am having trouble uploading pictures, so I'll try again tomorrow.
