Sleeping and (Sugar) Loafing Around - Rio, Day 5

After the long, tiring day, I knew today would be a lounge day.  However, I woke up early to go to an event that my friend was playing in.  Unfortunately, this turned into a series of failures and I headed back to the hostel to shower and nap, which was wonderful.  We decided to try to be productive today by visiting Sugarloaf Mountain, which was a great experience.

Once you get there, you take a cable car to the first mountain with an amazing view of Rio and also has a few shops and eateries.  Then, you take a second cable car to the next mountain, which has a museum and a couple fancy stores and food places.  Nothing too exciting - the views are the best part.
We saw this on the subway and Jimmy thought it was phallic looking.



You can just barely see Christ the Redeemer in the background.
