After we came down from Sugarloaf, we decided to go to lunch to see if the clouds would lift. By this time it wasn't raining any more-just foggy. We had THE best lunch of the trip. It was wonderful. It was a Brazilian Barbecue place and they served us every kind of barbecue imaginable, as much as we could eat! It was just delicious. Then after we were sufficiently stuffed, we headed off to go up to see the Christ The Redeemer statue. To get to this, we had to go up by cogwheel train. It was a fun trip up and even though the fog had not lifted, the clouds were drifting by and every now and then, the statue would suddenly burst through the clouds and we would see it and be awed. I thought it was sort of symbolic -how sometimes we search and search and all at once, His face appears to us. We went back down the cogwheel train and headed to the Amsterdam Sauer company to see their gems museum and of course, the salesroom! They brought us back later in the afternoon and we had some time to walk around Ipanema. Earlier we had stopped and walked the beach at Copacabana.
