Th<\/strong>ere is a huge statue in Rio, that pretty much defines the city.\u00a0 It sits high on a nearby mountain and I doubt there is any sane person who has not seen the image somewhere sometime.\u00a0 It is called Christ the Redeemer.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the Easter weekend, I worked in Rio performing some work that had to be done with no one in the building, and on that Sunday, Easter Sunday, my co-worker and I took a taxi up to see this famous statue.<\/p>\n

This image was from Wikipedia By Gustavo Facci from Argentina:\"\"<\/a>I was expecting the taxi driver would just drive up to a parking lot and we would get out and ooh and aah, and then get back in the vehicle and return to the hotel.\u00a0 Not so.\u00a0 The taxi driver is one that is used by my co-worker and he took us to the top and helped us cut in the long 45 minute line to get our tickets.\u00a0 Then it was a shuttle ride further up, then a climb of 220 steps to get to the base of the statue.<\/p>\n

This old fat boy was sucking air as he climbed 220 steps.\u00a0 For more info on it, go to the Wikipedia link below.<\/p>\n

Not only is the statue awe-inspiring, the view from it is also,\u00a0 I will post a mess of pictures below.\u00a0 All of these are my photos.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>And in the base of the statue is a very small chapel.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
