The girls on Ipanema Beach
aren't shy about
showing a bit of bun!

Rio de Janeiro's
Beaches are among
the world's loveliest.

Flip flops are required
wardrobe items in Brazil,
where they become
haute couture.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the
the world's most beautifully-set
city (in my opinion, and I've
seen a LOT of cities)

Several talented sculptors
create amazing sand castles
on Copacabana Beach. You
must pay to photograph!

The variety of flip flops
for sale in Rio is mind-numbing;
I found an entire store of them.

The men on Brazil's beaches
aren't afraid to show some skin
either, and the variety of
"Speedo" type suits is amazing.

Once you've seen Rio's
beaches from the ground...

Tandem hang gliding is a sport
that was virtually invented and
perfected in Rio. I loved my flight.
