Rio de Janeiro!!!

Took a 8 hr road trip in the middle of the night with some new friends I met to Rio. Got there in the morning and went straight to Ipanema beach. Have to say it is one of my favorite cities I have ever been to! On the way back after the weekend we left around 11pm and around 2am the road was blocked due to a truck flipping over and slipping rocks all over the road. Since this is Brasil and the roads aren't that great and this was literally the only way to get where we were going, there was no where to go and we waited for about 2 hrs before moving. Ah, these are simply just the pros and the cons of such a country.
