I did get to see the Christ statue and it is something I will never forget. Also went up to the top of Sugar Loaf. They will probably tell you that a James Bond movie was shot on the lift that takes you up! It’s a beautiful place, and also a dirty place. You May be in a luxurious hotel, and from your window you can look up the hills and see the shanties people live in. There is no middle class, only wealthy and very poor. There were armed guards on the beaches. I also saw the beaches you mentioned! There will be venders all on the streets begging you to buy from them. It’s amazing! Enjoy!

It was the first dining room suite I bought from Broyhill and I kept it for years. Long gone now, but when I sold it, I got more $ out of it than I paid for it. Joyce Beane

Since I only knew a few words in Spanish (and Rio was even one of them), I was surprised with the translation of Rio de Janeiro. Now, I can add a month to my Spanish! Unfortunately, I hardly ever use my many years of French. I should have taken Spanish . . .
