Rio and Copacabana Beach

On our second day there, we decided to hit Copacabana Beach. Because it was a Sat and a holiday down there, it was absolutely packed! It was literally shoulder-to-shoulder people and one of those days where you wanted to keep your belongings close by. Unfortunately, all it took was probably 5 seconds for me to look away and our camera was stolen right off the shoulder bar of Sean's chair (with him sitting there).














After getting a little fried at the beach, we decided to walk down Copacabana and take the metro to Impanema. Here we are taking a little ice cream break on a city street










That night, we went out to eat at a Chuhascaria. This is Connie and I, along with Sean and I just outside our condo building.











The next day was Sunday, so we took cabs to an LDS church in town. After church, we changed our clothes and took the metro into downtown. Unfortunately, it was like a ghost town in some places due to the holiday and it being a Sunday. It was a little eerie at times because there were streets that were absolutely deserted! We eventually found a McDonalds for lunch ( you can always count on Mickey D's to be open) and walked to a museum a few miles away. Here is a picture of us at church, and a few pictures of various parts of the city along our walk
