Rio, Christ the redemmer!!

Thats right...we went up to that big old Jesus staute. It was very cool. About 30m high and 28m from finger tip to finger tip.

Nice view of the city aswell. The name "Rio de Janerio" was given for two reasosn. One, beacuse of the large bay it sits around, when the Spanish found it they thought the bay was a delta, so Rio = Spanish for River! "de Janerio" comes from the fact that they found it on the 1st of January! Cool huh!

The city also sits in the largest "Urban" jungle in the world. Very nice to have mountains, jungle, ocean and beaches all in one city!
