Enroute to Corcovado

Here, we are in a cab on Sunday morning about 8am driving up to Corcovado to see Cristo Redentor which you can see on top of Corcovado. That is a national park.

Meeting in Botafogo

This is the view from my meeting at StrataGeo in Botafogo. That is Sugarloaf, or Pao de Acucar. You might recognize it as the place where James Bond fought Jaws on the cable car in Moonraker. We did not get to take the cable car ride this trip due to heavy cloud cover.

Sunrise on Ipanema Beach

Here was my view before heading out to meet with HRT and StrataGeo in Botafogo district of Rio.

Crazy Cab Ride in Rio

This was not Assis, but an associate of his driving me back from Salt Geology class downtown. Notice the pedestrians and scooter. Everyone drives too fast here, but I seldom witnessed a collisions. Lines on the street mean very little, but in spite of all the crazieness it all seems to work.
