Rio de Janiero, Brazil - Day 10
After a brief nap we head to the airport for a trans-Atlantic crossing to South America...the flame's first visit to this continent and we are on board for the experience...we wake to a fighter jet escorts just off the wings of Zeus into the airport...hit square in the gut by the tears running down Pele's face as he carried the torch out of Maracana Stadium...We pass the beaches of Impanema...and a tram to Pao de Zaucer (Sugar Loaf)...and the most incredible evening celebration of the entire relay with a beach concert attended by, what, 200,000+?...Ronaldo lights the cauldron...and we have the opportunity to finally crash at the RON knowing tomorrow is a maintenance day...
