Carol & I took this trip to Rio because we thought it was an exotic place to visit. We were right. We took the tramway to Sugarloaf Mountain; visited Christ the Redeemer statue, Copacabana & Ipanema Beaches, and a place where they store the costumes for the famous “Carnival” which is held annually.
This was a family trip with the three kids. Carol & I drove from Hershey, Pa. to El Paso, TX, stopping to see various sites along the way. Upon arrival, we left the kids with my parents and flew to Acapulco. Upon our return we drove back to Hershey, by way of the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest National Parks.
