Is This Rio Life? - Rio, Days 6 and 7

Yesterday was a bit of a throwaway day, since we woke up really late and didn't do much.  However, we did meet up with Jimmy's friends from SF, and went to Ipanema's bloco and then caught a cab to downtown Rio.  It was a lot of fun - thank goodness for camera phones to perpetually remind you of things.  

Then, we had to wake up early this morning to finish our Rio adventure with a trip to Corcovado, Christ the Redeemer.

Since we bought our tickets for the tram online, we were able to skip to the front of the line, which was awesome.  

We were there almost when it opened and it was still really crowded.  There were great views and a nice breeze.

I lost my sunglasses last night :(


A lot of people doing this - laying on the ground, posing with arms out, using selfie sticks.




There was a chapel in the base of the statue.  You're not allowed to take pictures inside, so I took one outside.

Other than that, today was a mad dash to get back and pack up at the hostel.  Right now, I'm about to leave to go to the airport to catch my flight to Foz do Iguacu - waterfalls await!
