As my annemo (granma) told me before I left for Rio, I visited the super-toursity attraction of this beautiful town, el Corcovado, a.k.a. the biggest jesus statue in the world. And as you see from the picture, it is quite big and powerful.
I don't particularly like places with a lot of tourists, but hung out there for an hour or so, watching the sunset, and later the beautiful Rio to lighten up for the night. (The strong lights you see on the right side of the photo is Sambodromo)
Later that night we went to eat at Ali Abi's favorite restaurant, la Churrascaria, a brazilian grill where they serve you all you can eat meat and salad for a mere $20 US! I was stuffed with sushi even before the meat arrived, and believe me, it was hard to swallow after the third round of charcoal grilled prime beef, and all sorts of other delicious specialties of the house. Ali insisted that we share the chocolate souffle at the end of our dinner, thank god I went out dancing afterwards, and did not stop until the early hours of the morning, in order to digest all that food!
