Christ the Redeemer

It has been a bit cloudy here, but yesterday as we were driving into Rio we saw Christ the Redeemer clearly in the sky. We decided to take advantage of the clear weather and head up to see him! We drove up the mountain as far as we could and then stood in a very long line. But it was great that so many people wanted to see Christ! Then we took a van up to the top and just when we got there, Christ was in a cloud. So I guess it was symbolic of God of the Old Testament at that point. After sulking a bit (Israelite style) we positioned ourselves in a good vantage point (according to Cedric) and waited. It was kind of funny because there were tons of people there waiting just like we were. Everytime the sky would clear just a little and we'd get a view of the Christ, everyone would get really excited and yell "now! Get a picture!" and whatnot in different languages. It would be silent and then all the sudden everyone would be in an uproar. Including us. We did manage to get some good pictures and we will post them. It was really an awesome sight and He really did look magnificent. We also got some great views of Rio below us. Our adventure there was a little dissapointing at first, but then was redeemed.
