Nov 26

The Rio de Janeiro, Brazil harbor is one of the world's most spectacular as you sail past Sugarloaf Mountain, Leblon, Ipenema & Copacabana beaches, see Corcovado with the famous Jesus statue atop in the distance and watch the sunrise reflect off the buildings along the shoreline.  We awoke early to watch the sail in to Rio but it was raining and overcast so there was no view to be had, just grey nothing.  This was only a one day stop and we had done tours in the past so we went with our Brazilian jeweler friend Gabriel Hazan to the Amsterdam Sauer jewelry store to visit their gem & mining museum.  We returned to the ship and met new guests joining the ship.  326 of us remained on from the previous segment and about 340 new guests joined.  No pictures this time, but we return in a month for a 2 day visit and we hope the weather cooperates.

I'm having some problems with photos on some of the previous posts and I'm trying to resolve that.  I have to use Photobucket as a URL and I'm still getting used to how it works.
