Here are some of my favorite memories of Rio...
Drinking a cold coconut. Eating quindins at Petits Fours.	Walking Fred in Ipanema.

Saturday afternoon at the Botanical Gardens.
The bride was tired and hot...	If a jaca fell on my head...

Corcovado in the background.	Imperial palms line the main paths.

I just found out about a great Web site dedicated to one of my favorite spots in Rio: the Pπo de Aτ·car or Sugarloaf Mountain. Wonderful photos, the history of the cable cars and much more. Don't miss it!

Also, if you're planning a trip to Rio, don't forget to check out our fave, fave site there: Ipanema.com. They have a FREE hotel reservations service, which is a big hit with travelers from around the world.
