Day 4 - Christ the Redeemer

We went to the Christ the Redeemer statue knowing that it was covered in clouds. We'd hoped that they would clear away enough to see the statue and to get good views from it. It turns out, the clouds didn't clear, and the statue was so covered in scaffolding that it was difficult to see it anyway.

Apparently I attract scaffolding. (Refer to our trip to Greece in 2008, when the Parthenon was covered with the stuff!)

We rode up to the statue on a little train. It took about 20 minutes to ride up. Luke fell asleep. :)

Despite the clouds, it was neat to see the view from the top.

Jason was jazzed to see another one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. (He has seen the Great Wall, Petra, the Colosseum, and Christ the Redeemer and still lacks Machu Picchu, Chichenitza, and the Taj Mahal)

Luke obviously woke up... and this little picture is a glimpse into our relationship and Luke's personality!
