I was at the top of Corcovado seeing the Cristo Redentor at the end of my 12-hour tour. It was, believe it or not, really cold at the top of the mountain (we were at 700m above sea level/Rio). The fog was blowing over the mountain really fast. This is before we got to the top as were climbing the stairs behind the Cristo. We got there right as the sun was going down, so most of my pictures are in the dark, but some of them came out. It is really cool how you can see the Cristo from almost anywhere in Rio; it's too bad since this is one of the biggest centers of sin come Carnaval time. Anyways, Rio was awesome and check out the other pictures at http://photos.brandonandmegan.org/sao-paulo/

That is my hometown! It's Wintertime down there and it can get quite cold in some places. I don't know if you noticed those mountains to the west of the city, but they are actually higher than Mt. Timpanogos, and they even had a bit of snow a few years back. That was quite the event for the locals. Were you able to see the ocean from the top of Corcovado? It's an unforgettable sight.
WOW... Looks like you are getting to do some pretty awesome things while you are there in Brazil! That is totally cool! Love ya!
