What a view!
Did someone say hops?
Taste testing the Gray Man Stout. IMO, fairly balanced between coffee and chocolate, with a slight lean towards coffee. Needs another week of fermenting/carbonation, but the essence of a good beer is evident.

Is that Leblon?
Close, I’m at Copacabana Beach.

Is that one perchance named for the famous hurricane - predicting ghost of Pawleys Island?

Ah! It’s been 13 years, so the memory is a bit fuzzy. 
I need to go back there.

I love minor league baseball. Not as crowded, food options are better, and they don’t reach into your wallet to take money while you are sitting down. Just a better experience over all.

A few more from Rio De Janeiro. I really haven’t done much of the tourist thing this week, but at least I made it up to the world famous Christ the Redeemer statue. I’m not at all a religious man, but the statue was very impressive both in size (almost 100 feet tall) and the location. Building the statue at that location was a feat in itself. The view from up there was also absolutely stunning.

Did you abseil off it like they did on the Amazing Race? LOL… (I might be mis-remembering that that actually happened…)
Where are those? Alps? Looks like something the Tour de France would climb…

Did you take the tram up, or did y’all climb? I remember that view being humbling. Also did you notice the tiny chapel at the base?
I took a van up there that runs every 20 minutes from Copacabana Beach. I certainly wouldn’t want to drive myself around here…

Good guess. In the alps with baguette and cheese and blisters. New hiking boots not worn in, and muggins here said “she’ll be right mate!”
