Rio

Rio de Janeiro has be amazing so far. Yesterday we went to the Niteroi Museum. Had to take a ferry across Guanabara Bay which was really fun. Cloudy and rainy; saw the Christ in the clouds. The museum contains an unimpressive contemporary art collection, the real draw is the building itself. Right on the water and offers some great views that I'm sure are even greater when it is clear.




















At night we headed to Lapa, the happening place at night, and went to Estrela da Lapa to see the samba group Bateria da Mangueira. About 10 guys on percussion and one singing/playing ukulele; simply amazing.

Today was spent wandering around and tomorrow we will head to either Ipanema or Christ the Redeemer.
