I took a quick trip to vist Escadaria Selarón aka 'Selaron Steps and the Santa Teresa Neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro the other day. I really didn't know that this place existed in Rio as its over shadowed by the Christ the Redeener and Sugar loaf Mountain or Pão de Açúcar attractions not to mention the beaches. It's quite an interesting place to hang out and see a different part of Rio.

I couldn't decide which photo I liked best so I uploaded both of these. Definitely one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been too. I love the way the light is bouncing off the Christ the Redeemer Statue into the clouds as if to say, Jesus the Light of the World.

Well, thank God the 2016 Olympic Games went off without a Hitch other than the fact that a few America Swimmer had a few to many one night and came up with a tall tale of being robbed. I had the feeling that things would run smoothly and they did even though Brazil, was bombarded with negative exaggerated stories from the liberal media.

Rio 2016 What could Possible go Wrong?

Hopefully the upcoming 2016 Olympic games in Rio will go off without a hitch. Its a no brainier, want peaceful games just keep the Muslims out. But that would sense so it wouldn't work. Oh well, in the meantime I'll just pray or the peace of Jerusalem and Rio de Janeiro.
