I was really really excited for Rio, and I must say it did not disappoint. I definitely did not have enough time there, not even close but being back for Thanksgiving and family was rather important too. So without any more talking/typing. Here's the first full day in Rio.
First plan was to switch hostels to the more central Copacabana area, walking distance from the famous Copacabana beach. Krissy was nice enough to let me choose things to do for us, since she was going to be there for another 3-4 weeks. First stop was the Fiera Nordestina (fair of the Northeast).
So this night we went to an amazing bossa nova bar that was recommented in the Lonely Planet book. We actually walked by it at first because it was down a shady looking alley. However once inside it was truly amazing. However it was in an area, Lapa, which I wasn't sure about and it was the one time I didn't bring a camera with me the whole trip, not even one of the film cameras I brought, didn't make the trip there that night. I continue to kick myself everyday for not bringing anything with me there. *sigh* Guess I'll just have to go back.

If you need someone to go back with so you can go to that bar again, I'm your man.
I love the girl in pink hot pants walking in between the graffiti and the mannequins. Also, the first skaters, lady getting off the bus and the Christ the Redeemer shots.
