We had pretty much the perfect day yesterday - went sailing to Itaipu (sp?) with friends.... just loved it. I mentioned recently that we'd found a service for those wanting to go sailing in Rio de Janeiro - I highly highly recommend seeing Rio by boat if you are coming down, it gives you a different perspective, money very well spent - we were out for almost 7 hours!
We stopped in Itaipu to have lunch and swim - the cool, clean, calm water felt incredibly good....

Love it.
Our neighbourhood & one of the brothers & Pedra de Gavea from the water.
A bit of a different vista of the Cristo on Corcovado mountain.
City lights at night...
The pictures are absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love them! I was telling Sidnei last night, that all the pictures I see of Brazil, the sky seems to look like a very concentrated blue! Here it always seems to be such a very very light blue! Well to me anyway...

Thanks - you are really onto something actually - there was a scientific study about where in the world has the "bluest skies" and it's Rio - waaayyyy back in my archives somewhere I link to the article.
