Nov. 18, Rio

Gosh, we love Rio!! Slept til 8:30!! Day was on our own. Took a cab to a shopping center in copacabana. 6 or stories, but didn't see anything. Then walked to beach and walked along the famous walk. Tried to walk to the water, but burned my little feet, even with sandals on! The hotels wet a walkway in the sand to prevent burned feet. Walked along the beach on another perfect day. Then took a cab home which made an 8 hr day. J and E went on the optional tour so we didn't meet up until happy hour in the lobby bar before our farewell dinner. Oh, when R and I got back to hotel we put our footies in the Atlantic.

We had our farewell dinner in the hotel with another mojito-like drink. All delicious. I think even my neck has gained weight!! I don't remember my necklace being so tight.

Anyway, it's been a great trip with some great folks. We four are brand new to GCT. Many have been many times to exotic places. One lAdy has been on 17 trips. One guy goes on a trip every other month!! Must be nice to have that much money!!
Most go at least 2x a yr. and have their next trip planned and paid for.

I'll reflect tomorrow, but our program director has been the best!! We're trying to figure out how to stuff her in our suitcase!!
