We met up with Scott's friend André who lives in Rio and he took us around on the bus and then to Sugarloaf Mountain (or Pão de Açucar) and took the cable car up to the top of the first mountain and then another cable car to the top of the second mountain which was REALLY high, so that's what most of our pictures of the city of Rio are from (although I think I took a couple pictures of São Paulo from the plane).
We also walked along Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The Live Earth concert was held on Copacabana beach. The stage for it was under the white tent in the pictures that said Live Earth. When we were there, they had a rapper doing a soundcheck rehearsal or something so we were there for a mini-pre-concert, which was nice. We then walked over to another tent that sold official merchandise for the 2007 PanAmerican Games which will be held there starting this Friday, the 13th, I believe. We both bought a T-shirt for it because we got sucked into the hype.
I tried Açai for the first time in Rio and as of now have also tried coconut water from an actual coconut and Acarajé also, in Salvador.
