Our trip in Rio is almost over, and we have had the most amazing time...we dont want to leave! There were a few bumps - we went to Sugar loaf to see the amazing view of Rio from atop, and as the cable car takes off, we go into complete fog, and never come out...oh well. We went to Cristo today though, which was a more dramatic view of the city, and the statue itself is absoultely amazing up close...
The nightlife here is amazing - one night we met up with a carioca friend of ours and he took us to this bohemian hole in the wall place in Lapa, where everybody there was either a musician or actor (we were haning out with some famous actor who kept getting his picture taken), with live forro music. The experience was unparalleled to anything I have ever seen, sort of like a Brazilian Berkeley, and the people were all so happy, smiling and giving the thumbs up sign all the time (everybody does the thumbs up here, I mean everybody, and for everything). Last night we went to the chic part of town, Leblon, and danced all night to house music. During the day we were in Santa Teresa, which is in part of a favela but is considered rather safe...and as were walking donw one of the cobblestoned streets kim runs into a brazilian model she worked with in Miami before. So tonight were going out with her and all her friends!!
Thats all for now!

Wow, glad to hear you're having such a great time! Good luck in Argentina. Dad and I just got back from a nice visit to Calistoga in the Wine Country. Lots of hot springs and good food and wine.
I'll enjoy your trip from my sofa -- have fun! (Your mom and I were friends in high school and college)
