South America: Rio de Janeiro

Rio has so much natural beauty and we really enjoyed exploring the city.

There was always kids playing soccer on the beach.

Ipanema Beach. The tile mosaic on the sidewalk goes for miles and miles.

Copacabana Beach.

The pool at our hotel was on the roof, which also had a great view of Ipanema Beach.

Christ the Redeemer.

 Rio's Carnival is held in this stadium every year.
