Rio de Janeiro chosen to host the 2016 Olympics

The city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil will be the first South American city to host the Olympic Games and will be held on September 7-18, 2016.

I was telling mom last night that the city of Chicago may notget the vote. They were even eliminated in the first round of ballots.

I am not a sporty guy but I do watch sporting events especially on TV (sorry, I hate noisy crowded places).

I am so happy for the Brazilians!
