A tranquility away from the streets but so well kept and so diverse from cactus to tall giant palm trees with fascinating sculptures in house and of course crist de redentor in the backdrop. I also saw a snake slither across my path, then there is a little known walk from another spot 15 minutes up the road where the brave can hike al the way up to christ the redeemer. Now there you will deserve that beer ! total praser ! ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:38:06 +0000
