Last day! The sun cooperated with us and we were up and at ‘em to hit both Sugar Loaf and Corcovado in one day. We rode the double gondola up Sugar Loaf. The adventure is described with one word: spectacular. Then again on the bus with Super Mario and off to Christ the Redeemer at Corcovado.
After a quick 15 minutes train ride, we were there. If we thought the view from Sugar Loaf was spectacular, Corcovado was heavenly. It is a full 360-degree view of Rio. Everywhere we had been over the past 3 days was laying out there for all to see. It was awe-inspiring. We took a great photo of all of us with Christ in the background (tough for any others to coordinate with 32 people on a small platform – but not for Fernando!) It was a site that words can’t do justice. We’ll post the photos and ask that you dream a little to imagine the splendor.
After our two final tourist destinations, it was one last food-by-the-pound destination and then off to the airport with Tom Petty in charge of getting the Bastards there on time. No problem. We all checked in with no problem, and strolled to the gate. Fernando was likely asleep by 7PM tonight after creating and unbelievable and once-in-a-lifetime experience for 32 lucky Americans over the past 14 days.
Words can’t express how much fun we had. THANK YOU!
