The day we went to visit Christ the Redeemer, we were driving up through the winding roads and I could see the cloud, tons of cloud masking the view and I was so annoyed, thinking it was a total waste. Luckily with some waiting, Christo Rendentor emerged from the white fluff and it was an applause from everyone there!
We totally thought we got our photo with the statue...that was a fail, along with many other photo attempts! (Was using a GoPro)
Below is the National dish of Brazil: Feijoada (a black bean stew that is brewed with a variety of smoked and salted pork and beef). They use different parts of the pig such as ears, tail, tongue, along with the meat and the feijoada is served with white rice, collard greens, orange slices for some freshness and toasted cassava flour also known as farofa. The Brazilians usually eat this on the weekends as it is a three to four hour feast full of chatting, eating and socializing.
Jardim Botanico was a serene oasis in an ever moving city, if you are looking for a slow paced activity where you are surrounded by waterfalls, lush greenery, cobblestones and vibrant orchids, well go here. So pretty indeed!
Stop by Copacabana Palace for a cocktail in their famous Hotel Cipriani restaurant. Very glamorous and beautifully decorated...
This sandwich was delicious, we actually returned to have it for the second time and they weren't there. This yumminess is found on Ipanema Beach #80 beach stall from a Uruguayan family. Here is how I found out about it.
It honestly was an amazing week in Rio and I enjoyed it thoroughly, I'm now ready to explore the rest of South America and all the amazingness it has to offer!
