Rio Day 2 - Sugar Loaf

This is Pao de Acucar, or Sugar Loaf. We took 2 cable cars to get to the top to see the magnificent views.

Here is Luke inside one of the cable cars with our friend Andy.

The view on the way up the first cable car: (I wanna know how you get to play on THAT beach. It was so beautiful!)

We stopped and took some pictures at the first cable car stop. There was good shopping there, too, so we bought some souvenirs.

Christ the Redeemer from the first cable car stop:

Jill, Judi, and me. The wind was blowing like crazy!

Riding down in the cable car:

After coming down in the cable car, we took taxis to a Brazilian steakhouse (churrascaria) for dinner. It was good, but I still prefer Fogo de Chao better. This one didn't have the little red and green cards, and that is one of my favorite parts! :)

For dessert, we ordered profiteroles. The best part was watching the guy pour all that yummy chocolate on top!
