Carnaval and ClimbsVicks: Sara, when you asked if I wanted to hike while in Rio, you didn't specify that I would be tied to a safety harness and using a rope!
But this one view of many is my reward for the spent energy!! Beautiful!! We are all very tired and very excited that we accomplished climbing a mountain! Nearly 1,000 feet!!Rio de Janeiro at dusk. Copacabana on the left edge, Botafogo Marina on the right, Cocovado on the horizon. Incredible!!

Ian, Meg, me Vicks and Kirsten before heading to Sambodromo!!!

Me and Vicks dressed up and ready to desfilar...man those costumes were HOT!!
