Rio de Janeiro

Cruising into Rio early this morning was incredibly gorgeous! Christ the Redeemer statue was an unforgettable experience as was taking the cable car into the cloud to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. Rio is a giant bustling city of more than 12 million people. As you can see by this shot, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are simply stunning in their setting by the sea with the mountains in the background.
