Brazil a Day #4

Brazil Paseo 5

Pao de acucar 3

Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue on the hill. We tried to visit the statue one afternoon, but there were multiple hour delays in getting to the top of the hill, so we had to settle instead for seeing the "Big Guy" watch over the city, and us, from different vantage points through out the city.
