Today was a lesson in Brazilian culture that mostly involved food....ahhh, so good...and some sight-seeing. In the morning, Felipe, Protasio (Felipe´s father) and I went up to ´Mirante Dona Marta´ ("Dona Marta´s Look-out"). The weather was clear when we left but by the time we got there it had turned a bit gray and cloudy with a light rain. Despite that, the pictures we took are awesome. One of the best views in the city, I think; looks like a postcard...the mountain you see is called The Sugarloaf. The photo below that is Felipe and I at the look-out that faces ´Cristo o Redentor´(Christ the Redeemer).
Though the view from my bedroom window is rather nice too...
...yup, that´s the Christ statue that Rio is always identified with--not too shabby :) After the look-out, we went to the ´Rio Carioca´(River of Rio-residents) and the ´Largo do Boticario´(Boticario Square). It is a historic (colonial) part of the city that has been restored for tourism.
More to come....
