When we went to Rio we really didn't have lots of planned. We wanted to just relax on the beach and enjoy the vibrant beach life together. Most the weekend was spent lounging on Ipanema, stuffing my face with açai, quickly putting our feet in the freezing water, and enjoying the views.
The one thing we decided we would do was head to Pão de Açúcar right before the sun set to get the raved about view of the city and beach. I'm so glad we did this, it was breathtaking and perfect. It started with not having to wait in line at all, I'm talking buy our tickets continue walking right onto a moving vehicle (what are those things called?). It is very well planned, there are two stops with restaurants and bars at each one, lots of overlook points, and tons of benches and tables.
Once we got to the first level we took a couple pictures. We thought this view was great, little did we know what was in store for us. Don't you love when that happens...you think things couldn't get better and then they do!

I'm not gonna lie, as we headed up I was a little scared. I couldn't help put think what if the car whatever they're called fell or slipped off the itty bitty cable holding it. Jess tried to calm my fears teased me, and we finally made it.
The views were stunning...while I wasn't too pleased with my pictures, I think the beauty comes across. Next time I can try for better ones, I'm still teaching myself on my camera.
After Pão de Açúcar we headed back to our friend's apartment to relax a little (like we hadn't already!) and then went out to dinner at this cute little pizza joint. The food was okay, nothing too great, but we did love the ambiance.
