Travelogue: Christ the Redeemer, Rio, Brazil

Of course, no visit to Brazil would be complete without a tour to see Rio's iconic Christ the Redeemer. I still can't believe we finally got to see it in person, and on a day that couldn't be any more beautiful with the clear blue skies that provided the perfect backdrop!

I have a lot more Rio pictures to share but for now, we're off to São Paulo!!

Ipanema Beach

Frank Sinatra cannot be any more right -- the 'Girl from Ipanema' is indeed 'tall and tan and young and lovely'! Unfortunately, we've been too shy to zoom in on them to take pix, so instead, here's us.

Sorry to disappoint :P

I was the only one wearing a 1-piece swimsuit, I looked like a grandma standing next to the ladies in their micro-thong bikinis! Yes, the kind that some of us consider too risque to even wear as an underwear is proudly worn on the beach here!

View from our hotel

More Ipanema pictures soon!!
The internet is cooperating so I'm taking advantage and uploading a bunch more pix.

Wall of souvenirs.
My fave are these tiny cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest in Germany!

I rarely post outfit photos taken outside. I'm too shy to pose for the camera knowing people are looking. Special thanks to my friend and shopping buddy Faye for taking this shot!
