April, likewise
Mike, meet Cristo Redentor.
April did NOT want to make this pose.  I had to literally FORCE her.
Mike's artsy shot.
April posing with the tour guide at the top.  I actually wanted him to take a picture of me and April, but there were language complications.
Soaking up some rays on Ipanema Beach, Two Brothers Mountain in the background.
Sunset from our balcony.  Man I loved that balcony.
April reading a book about how awesome the view from our balcony is.  I was going to tell her to just look up, but she thinks a book can describe it better.  Humph.
Before leaving, we had an amazing 10 course chef's tasting menu at the Sofitel's French restaurant called Le Pre Catelan.  Here was our menu:
1. Seafood salad & escargot wrapped in phyllo
2. Tomato confit with goat cheese & crustacean salad
3. Quail with foie gras in phyllo with julienne vegetables
4. Champagne passionfruit sorbet
5. Parmesan encrusted white fish
6. Sea bass on potato with leeks & tomato caper sauce
7. Wild boar with pasta, lady finger peppers & artichokes
8. Cheese tray
9. Strawberry mousse with rasberry sauce
10. Dessert medley
extra: After dinner chocolates
Definitely one of our top 3 dining experiences of all time.  With the great conversion rate, our meal total only came to about $150 USD.
Goodbye Rio...maybe we'll see you again someday.  Unless April has her way.
