nice

the first 6 pictures are terrible in my opinion.. they give a kind of 'depressive/poor air' to the city..


the rest is stunning, great, as Rio is.. indeed, more than a myth! :banana: :bow: :banana2: ;)

FANTASTIC TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Ipanema Beach :runaway:
Viva Rio!

RIO!

Rio makes me :drool:

Rio is so beautiful!!!

Barra Shopping still have that monorail to cross all the mall?

Great looking city.

Rio is one of those places, that you never get enough of visiting it!
I live 500 Km north from Rio de Janeiro, and in this year I've been 4 times in that city...and of course i would like having been there further times yet!
