Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio #2

Just booked a vacation to Rio in July. I travel a lot, but it’s for business. I haven’t taken a trip like this for years and years. Can’t wait. I haven’t really spent much time in South America. I spent 3 weeks in the rainforest about 100 miles up the Amazon from Iquitos, Peru back in undergrad. About 10 of us went down there to work with a shaman to learn more about using plants as medicine. Surely one of the best experiences of my life.
