Carioca: A native or inhabitant of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This is Ipanema Beach (from the song: tall and tan and young and hansome...).
It is Indian for dangerous waves.
Copacabanna beach where we stayed.
Here is a sandcastle Joe made all by himself.


The trolly.
An amazing one-man ongoing exhibit by the artist Selaron with tiles from all over the world.

The famous Christ the Redeemer Statue that overlooks the city. During Carnival, they cover his eyes so he can't see what what is going on. Ha!
So many beautiful buildings.

All the sidwalks are made of stone mosaics.

A little taste of home.

Looks like you had a great time! Is this where your husband served? When are you going to Thailand?
