Kristen, Stace and I had a day to explore before the start of our meeting today (which is going well), and to be honest, it was a washout. Still alot of fun, but isn't it just typical that the one nice day you have in a cool country is the day your stuck in an over-airconditioned room from 7.30am - 6pm? Yup, today it was not raining, still cloudy so we didn't get to enjoy the mountains in all their splendor, but at least you didn' t get soaked walking to the taxi!
Here are some initial pix.....please send the good weather gods this way....we have monday off to explore and are hoping to go up the cable cars made famous in James Bond's Moonraker..........yes, I want to relive the moment with Jaws......:0)
The grey sky above probably the coolest TGI Fridays you will ever see! On Copacabana Beach, just opposite our hotel!
Sand sculptures.....we still have no idea how they survived the rain....but keep an eye on this blog for pix of the funniest sand sculptures you will ever see......to be posted soon.......:0)
The famous Copacabana Palace Hotel.......we had Cairparinas in here for Kristens Bday the day we arrived. Totally cool place.....sat by the pool, watched the rain, drank and then pretended the Porsche was ours on the way out.....for some reason they didn't believe us......
When in Brazil......me eating a traditional Brazilian Feijouada......meat stew with everything in.....including Pigs Foot (on my spoon), Pigs ear, Salted rump, Tail.....and just about everything inbetween.......I have to say though, it was very tasty. And despite this picture, Kristen enjoyed the pigs foot too....:0)
