Weekend in Rio

Last weekend I went to Rio with some friends for a total of 26 hours. We stayed at the Othon Palace in Copacabana. Here's the view from our hotel room:

Here's the view at night:

Sidewalk patterns, designed by Roberto Burle Marx.

The Othon is twice as tall as any other building in Copacabana, probably because some bribe was paid. The view from the top is just one more of many spectacular ones to be had in the city. The picture above is looking away from the beach. Copacabana is 30 blocks long and four blocks wide. A quarter of a million people are jammed into it. Every block is dense solid with 10-12 story apartment blocks.

Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
