Today was our last full day here in Brazil. We had a driver take us up to the Redeemer Statue, where we took pictures and enjoyed the view. The weather today was perfect. It was about 85 degrees with very few clouds.
From the Redeemer, we drove to a place where we rode a cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain. From Sugar Loaf Mountain, there is an amazing view of Rio de Janeiro; the beaches, the city and the favellas. We ate an ice cream and walked around the top of the mountain.
Our driver took us to a mall because we wanted to do some last minute souvenir shopping. Mall shopping wasn’t really what we were looking for, but I found a really cute dress. We took a taxi back to our hotel, and right in front of our hotel was a block full of street vendors selling souvenir type things. Ugh! We could have skipped the mall. Oh well. We still found the perfect things to bring home.
We went to the beach and put our feet in the water. The sand is so clean and light feeling. It is a completely different feeling to walk in the sand here than in Cali. I got a coconut on the beach, and we went back to the hotel.
We spent some time lounging by the pool until we were ready for dinner. We ate at a pizzeria. We had to make one last stop before we go home.
We are looking forward to being home and seeing our family. Tomorrow we will fly out of Rio at 12:00 P.M. We will arrive in LA at 12:00 A.M.
