MY VISIT TO RIO ~ BRAZIL IS THE PLACE TO SEE!

I just came back from a really neat place - Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. This will be the home for the next summer Olympics and I can see why! It is absolutely gorgeous! The mountains, rain forest and beautiful beaches just take your breath away!
The highlights of the trip were seeing Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, the food, the beaches and visiting this fantastic gem shop! There is so much to do and see. You need at least a week to really be able to do a lot.
I had heard how dangerous the city was but found it to be no more dangerous than any other large city. We used driver's and had a great experience. They knew how to get us where we needed to be and gave us some wonderful tours.
I was able to run in a local race by chance too! It was really neat being able to run through the city streets without any traffic! The views while running were incredible!
If you ever get the chance, go and visit Rio! I thought the people were very gracious and friendly and the shopping is fantastic! A very memorable trip.

Paula, Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. Now I am even more excited about an upcoming trip to Latin America - I definitely will see Rio.
Hi Paula, Rio certainly is an interesting place. We were there a few months ago and stayed at the
COPA CABANA HOTEL. The scenery is awsome . Glad you had a nice trip as well.

You do get around, don't you? Thanks for sharing those great photos (none in black and white, I see.)
I have heard from friends that the shopping is amazing! I would love to visit there BEFORE the Olympics and thanks for the snapshot.
Paula, Great photos! So cool that you got to run in a race and really see the City! A memorable trip, indeed!
Paula -- What a wonderful trip that must have been. That first pic is enough to sell me. Beautiful.
Paula, Rio has been on my Bucket list for so many years.....now these photos re-arranged the priorities. Loved the photo from the World Famous Hill Top:)
Paula,
What a great adventure! I have never been to South America and I cannot get anyone in my family to go! ;( I would love to go to Rio and to Lima. Thanks for sharing!
LEGEP in Recreio is an amazing store to see, one of my favourites, the beach is pretty nice as well.
