Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

On my trip to Rio de Janeiro I really wanted to see the world famous statue of Christ. The statue tital is Christ the Redeemer. It was very cool when i visited and saw it. It is a lot bigger than I origanly thought it was going to be. There were a lot of people visiting the statue at the time that I went so it was a little crouded but I was still able to get up close to it. The view is an amazing view looking over the city. This is the same city that is a canidate for the 2016 Olympic Games. There has never been a host city for the olympics in South America ever in history. This was a fun trip and I learned a lot.

The stands at 30 meters made by the artist Paul Landowski. It sits on Corcovado Mountain. Until 1960 Rio was the capital of Brazil until it was moved inland to Brasilia. The current population in Rio is 7,000,000 people. These are just some of the things that I learned on the trip to Rio.
