Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Day 37-38

Next stop: Rio! We were pumped for our first beach adventure, but it ended up being so overcast that there was no sun and no one on the beaches! We were too cheap to do anything else, so after 2 nights, we headed to an island off the coast of Brazil.

The famous Copacabana Beach...deserted.

Ipanema Beach probably looking more like typical December weather in Pittsburgh!

One of the favelas, ghetto-shantytowns notorious for their high crime rates.
