Brazil: the marvelous city of Rio de Janeiro

 First day in Rio...we had to go visit the Cristo Redentor at Corcovado!  It was AMAZING! I'm glad we decided to do something very touristy right away...it got us into the feeling of Rio.  We decided on the air conditioned van going up since it was dreadfully hot and humid.  Good decision!  We stopped half way up for some pictures...and then arrived to the statue.  Truly amazing how they got that thing up there...but it is awesome to always see Cristo everywhere you go in the city...day or night...we loved it!
 It was quite hazy that day...sometimes it doesn't burn off until 3pm...so thus...not the most clear. 
Imagine Rio on a clear day!
