Rio: The Adventure Continues......

Well, it seems that Rio does not want us to leave just yet so we are back to downtown Rio, how about that??? We left our Copa hotel at 5:30 pm thinking we were heading home to the USA only to find out that our flight has just been canceled!! The reason given: Pilot is not feeling good!!! Wow I said, is that the real reason or a make believe reason?? I even joked with the lady at the Check-in desk that I was an engineer and I could fly the plane: Off Course NOT!! Well whatever the reason we are back in Rio and this time in Centro (center) for another 24 hours, so they say!!!

Our new hotel is also Windsor but not the same quality as the one we were at in Copa, a far cry from that one!!! Oh well, we cannot do much about it now, we just have to enjoy Rio for yet another day... It is better to be safe than sorry.. This is my first international flight canceled as far back as I can remember.. It is so weird that on the way to Rio from Atlanta, we needed to change plane because of engine temperature being high, now from Rio to Atlanta our flight is canceled altogether!! What is wrong with a Delta Airline and its planes,  I ask????

Tomorrow we have another whole day to explore more of Rio downtown so may be it is all good after all .....
