Day 4: June 20, 2012


     I woke up feeling really good, ready to take on Rio.  I slipped on my shoes and a clean pair of clothes and hurried downstairs.  I decided to visit Sugar Loaf Mountain today.  Sugar Loaf Mountain rises above the entire city and is a famous landmark.  I decided to take the cable car up to the top to do some sightseeing. The car only took three minutes to reach the peak of the mountain.  I had never been so high up in my life and the sights were breathtaking! After a good thirty minutes of sightseeing I returned to the bottom seeing life in a different view.  
     Next I was off to the Tijuca Rainforest, located in the city.  While at this beautiful  park I had the pleasure of actually swimming under a waterfall which was simply amazing.  After my relaxing swim I decided to get a bite to eat.  I decided on Confeitaria Colombo.  I ordered the feijoada and a glass of tea.  I was pleased with the service of the waiters and the quality of the food.
     My last visit of the day was to take a nice stroll through Santa Teresa which is home to brightly colored houses. The houses were simply inspiring to me.  As the sun set behind the horizon I made my way back to my hotel.
