Rio de Janeiro

Rio is a huge dense city located in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable. Ocean, bay,
rocks and mountains surround and intertwine the city, creating a wonderful place to visit. We
wandered on our own for two days, visiting Sugar Loaf, Ipanema Beach, H. Stern jewelers, Mt.
Corcovado, and five or six miles of city streets, friendly non-english speaking people, shops and
buildings.
