On Sunday I went to go see Christ the Redeemer and Santa Teresa (an old, beautiful part of town).
It was a great day. I went with some people from the hostel, and we had a blast. To get to Santa Teresa we took a tram, which was lots of fun -- it is very old. Also the tram goes over Lapa, where we partied the other night, so it was cool to see that part of town during the day. We tried some traditional Amazonian foods from a cafe in Santa Teresa, and did some browsing in the shops. Then we went up to Corcovado (where Christ is). When you get near the top there is an elevator and escalators to take you the rest of the way. It is a very cool statue, and it is always amazing to go and see such iconic things.
Also the view of the city from the top was excellent.
