| Forget the marathon - this is the reason to go to Rio. This is Ipanema beach from the restaurant atop my hotel. |
| Corcovado - symbol of Rio. |
| Ipanema in the late afternoon sun. |
| Majestic views of Rio from Corcovado. The marathon started to the right of the picture on the right and went all the way around to the left, finishing near Sugar Loaf barely visible in the left picture. |
| Life on the beach. |
| Between Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. |
