100 Adventures in Rio

Rio de Janeiro. Apparently more than just a beach town. From the day I touched down I was swept up in parades, dancing in the streets, capoeira, climbing to waterfalls, samba, forro, farmers markets, outdoor jazz parties, anti-homophobia film festivals, favela photography exhibitions, make-your-own maracuya caipirinhas, and even an evangelical music concert! Oh yeah, and sunbathing on Ipanema isn't bad either. Check out my 100 best moments in Rio. Volcanic ash cloud, you can leave me stranded in Rio any time you like! Brazil was FULL of surprises.
