Tropical birds and a whole lot of songs from Rio de Janeiro!
Now
we go south for the next trip to Brazil! And way over the countless miles of
water I finally land at the airport. Tired and sleepy from the whole plane ride
I take a cab and get to the hotel. At the hotel I checked in and they carried
my luggage and showed me to my room and for their help I went and gave them a
token of my appreciation cause I would've broke down half way to my room if I
had to carry my luggage. So when I got there I hit the hay and slept for what
seemed forever and woke up well rested seeing that it was actually the
afternoon. But I didn't care. But I did
get clean and well get dressed and all. When I looked out the window I saw the
sparkling beach with the sun's golden rays, white smooth sand fined into the
smallest grains, and crystal blue water splashing on the gorgeous shore.

So when I was gazing at
that beautiful scene I thought to myself "tomorrow I will go to the beach.
And that's how it went. When I stepped in the water the water was warm and I
could see my feet really clearly. That amazed me so much cause whenever I went
to the beaches in the U.S I couldn't see my feet in the water. I couldn't. So
when I could see what was under the water I was amazed but I was a little um
somewhat jealous on how in the U.S the water wasn't as clear as in Rio when the
water is the same water around the world but I guess it’s because in the U.S
there is more water contamination or something like that with all the factories
we have there. Tip to for Rio: When you go to Rio try to find the most elegant
clothing but not the expensive clothing that is elegant either cause here the
Brazilians judge on what you wear and if it's elegant or not and on your
appearance instead of how your personality is. And so thus ends my tip. But the
beaches are great! They are a pretty sight to see and it says beauty all over
the beach. Going to the beach is a must do!

In Rio I also went to the
famous statue Christ the Redeemer or Cristo Redentor. It stands on the peak of
a 2,300 ft. mountain overlooking the city, Rio de Janeiro. When I was packing
necessary things like water, charged camera, sun block, watch, sunglasses,
travel size umbrella, little snacks, a hat, bug spray, a charged cellophane (in
case I can get a signal), napkins, and a map. And I also brought pocket money
in Brazilian money called Brazilian real. But I was not going to go by walking
(even if it was allowed) I was going by train. The fee was 36 Brazilian Real
dollars. (Tip: the train comes back to the station every 30 minutes.) I could
afford that cause the pocket money I had was actually a lot more than pocket
money but you have to keep that a secret there if you want to have all your
money safe. But since I am back home I don't need to keep it a secret no more.
The train ride had spectacular scenery especially on the right hand side. Lucky
me I did sit on the right hand side. So tip of advice sit at the right hand
side to see the most spectacular views during the train ride. When the ride was
over I got off the train and that's when I saw the most spectacular view yet!
The statue Christ the Redeemer was right above me. It was the moment I was
waiting for. I was looking down on the city everything looked so small and it
was just amazing that you have to go visit Christ the Redeemer because it is a
most do too. I took a bunch of pics. The trip was awesome and there were so many
awesome memories at the top of the peak. No regrets even if the heat that day
was greatly filled with heat and humidity. But that was one of my highlights in
trip.
