CORCOVADO - CHRIST THE REDEEMER













-----------------AMAZING----------------










At the top of Corcovado mountain is the incredible CHRIST THE REDEEMER statue. - What an amazing site...pictures cannot do it justice....The views from Corcovado are breathtaking, but also incredible is the huge size of the statue...



You take a train up the mountian at a 45 degree angle then four flights of stairs, followed by an escalator up to the summit.....you just have to look at the pictures.....

After that we went on to a buffet lunch and a rehearsal with Maestro Minchuk who will be conducting this weekend....it will be spectacular

I then took a great walk on Copacabana beach...followed by dinner and then Jeff and I stopped bya rooftop party that the YGC was having. Tomorrow we are off to Sugar loaf which you can see in the pictures....a glass walled tram over the ocean will get us there....WOW!
All in all a great day!
