More pics from the Favela.

Facinating Favela






A major Favela (slum) in Rio, one of the larger ones right behind our hotel. A small group of us went on a tour (very cautiously) with a local guide.

Wild Waves




Some rough seas just outside our hotel....and some more beach views. Ipanema Beach, and Copacabana from the rocks at Ipanema.

Beach Beauties






Some of the crew...hanging out at Ipanema Beach on a sunny Sunday. (...the pic of Derek in the tub was taken by Scott on Corvado).

Wet Work





Athletics. The last couple of days in the pouring rain! The Women's marathon route was along the beach, past the front of our hotel.
