A Colorful First Day in Rio 🇧🇷

My arrival in Rio was greeted by torrential rain and thunder ⛈️. After a 40-minute wait, I finally got a taxi to my Airbnb. My host—a 60-something photographer fluent in French, Portuguese, and Spanish (but zero English/Chinese)—was incredibly kind. We spent 30 minutes painstakingly chatting via Google Translate 🤖💬. Morning: Woke up to birdsong and sunlight ☀️, relieved my cold hadn’t worsened. Decided to explore nearby: • Selarón Steps: A riot of colorful tiles 🎨 (and crowds). • Lapa Arches: Stumbled upon this iconic aqueduct by accident. Afternoon: Hopped on the Santa Teresa tram (only R$20!). No research = 2-hour line 😅. Just as I nearly gave up, shouts of “Solo!” (thanks, kind strangers!) got me a last-minute spot. Vibes: The area was artsy, loud, and bursting with color—exactly my style! But even in daylight, I avoided empty side streets, sticking to crowded main roads (safety first 🚨). Evening: Rio’s early sunset + 6 PM rain forecast ⏳ had me racing back. Made it at 6:05 PM—just as the first drops fell. Cozy victory! 🏠💧 Dinner: Devoured a R$24 takeout chicken rice—simple, cheap, delicious. Takeaway: Rio is chaotic, vibrant, and full of surprises. Even mishaps turn into stories! #Rio de Janeiro#Escadaria Selarón#Lapa Arch#travel guide#Brazil
