Nobody told me this city is actually a rainforest

It is so hot and so much more humid.  When the plane landed it got warmer inside the cabin, because it was 95 degrees out.  When I told my taxista (taxi driver) "Hace calor" (its hot), he said "muchisimo" (extremely).
My flight went ok.  I showed up 2.5 hours early as suggested, to find out it had been delayed 2 hours.  Hung out with mom and pops and Marie for a bit, then finally went through security and boarded.  Then the plane sat on the runway for 45 minutes because "flight information was being downloaded".
When we took off at about 1am, every single orange light in Queens and Brooklyn was on.  It was awesome because it looked like an enormous sea of little fires, all organized into lines and shapes.  After a few naps I woke up and peeked out the window to see that we were directly over the Amazon rainforest in the heart of Brazil.  We flew directly over the river.  It was incredible.  Ive never seen that many trees or that big of a river before.
The taxi took me through a few neighborhoods of the city and its suburbs.  Its an awesome looking city, a little dirty, but busy and beautiful.  We passed a few parks which looked promising, about 11,000 soccer fields, and 14,000 billboards for things that have to do with soccer.
Tito, the patriarch of my homestay, met me at the door when we pulled up.  He's a friendly man of 70, who seems to be old and completely blind at times, and completely healthy at others.  His wife Susy is very nice as well.  Tito's son-in-law Diego came over for a swim in the pool around 4, later followed by his wife Marina, Tito's son Miguel and his two sons (I don't know their names so I'll call them Diego Jr. and Javier), Tito's second son Mariano, and his female companion of some sort.  Everybody was super friendly, all teaching me Spanish and asking questions.
This has gone on too long so Im summing the rest of the day up: unpacked, sweated, water break, pool, water break, shower, unpacked, skype, sweated, water break, skype, this.  Buenas noches!
