| The view from Sugarloaf mountain |
Rio is amazing, I had been waiting a long time to go and had almost unreachable expectaions. My expectations were completely surpassed. It is incredible! If you ever have the opportunity to go you must take advantage of it! |

|  | Sugarloaf Mountain Rio de Janeiro got its name in January of 1502 when Gaspar de Lemos from Portugal sailed into the harbour and mistaked it for a river, calling Rio de Janeiro, River of January. |

Great pics of Rio. Makes me want to grab a plane! Nice travel pages, I'm jealous! | dvideira Thu Sep 9, 2004 06:50 UTC
Chris, you have some beautiful and really accurate pages on Rio. Too bad you missed the real samba school rehersals' time. Plataforma is too touristic... - foot-volley is really amazing, isn't it? :-)) Cheers! | VdV Mon May 17, 2004 06:53 UTC
Thanks for stopping by my Rio page, too! (Check out my Curitiba photos if you have time, too.) I also like your pages on Iguazcu...I'm planning to return to Brasil in August to see the Foz...hope my pics come out as good as yours! | enroute Sat Mar 20, 2004 21:19 UTC
