@Guido. You know I'm not religious so I was never interested in that statue but the view from up there has to be incredible. I've seen photos from up close but wasn't sure if general public was able to go to the top. If so any pics?

Yes, ol' Cristo Rey is due for a touch-up soon (planned for next year, I believe). They even saved some of the original stone.
I would really like to see how they do it. Super Duper Glue? Heck, I wonder where they keep all this unused rock!

The museum is in Niterói. Christ statue can still be seen. It is in Rio. Look closely to the right of he museum.
Don't think Brasil is into football? Look at the Xmas tree at in the local supermarket.
Now look closely! Heh....guards were really watching me here.
Frozen pipes here. I miss the 120F temps already.
Christ to the far left in Rio, Museum to the right. An old church is on that island between the two (looks like it is connected to the museum).

Ice forms from the waterfall spray in mid-air. Really kewl but made for dangerous climbing both up and down. Catch one of those ice tubes in the grooves of a boot / shoe and you'd find the quick way down over the jagged rocks which were already covered in moss. Insanely slick surface until you make your way out of the waterfall spray. Then? Just bake on the rocks!
Highly recommended trip for anyone who likes nature and aggressive hikes. About 6 state parks in driving distance.
