Today I woke up extra early to travel to Rio de Janeiro. It would take about five hours to get there so I got up at 2:00 A.M. and planned on getting there at seven. I finally arrived in Rio de Janeiro at 7:30 A.M. Today I plan on visiting the Christ Redeemer statue, one of the seven wonders of the world. I drove as close as I could then got onto an elevator that took me up to the statue. As I stepped out of the elevator I saw the statue, and was I amazed. It towered over me and into the clear blue sky. After about an hour at the statue I decided to check out some restaurants in Rio.
I found a restaurant called Antiquarius which served Brazilian food. I ordered codfish, one of there specialties, and it was surprisingly good. My meal cost about $80.00. Next I was off to the beach! I walked down to Ipanema beach to find it nearly packed. I spent about an hour at the beach then decided it was time to visit one last place then find a hotel for the night. I visited the Jardim Botanica, a botanical garden, to do some meditating. At dusk I went to find a hotel. I found one pretty quickly called JW MARRIOTT. I checked in and went to sleep.
