The Cristo on top of a huge hill in Rio.	The view from the Cristo, or what you can see of it through the clouds
Philippe in front of the Cristo. The clouds are getting quite ridiculous at this point.	Me in front of the Cristo. I don't know why I keep taking pictures of us in the clouds, but I guess something just seems really cool about it.
Me in a super dorky pose at the Corcovado (where the Cristo is)	Ah, well, at least there's another dork there too
Philippe in the boat on the way to the beach house at Ilha Grande	A view of some houses on the way to Ilha Grande
A view of the hammock and porch from inside the house	The outside of the house
The boat and beach at the beach house	The other boat at the beach house
Philippe's dad, Jacques, cooking up some GREAT meat	Philippe on the dock
Philippe taking a picture of some trees	The trees
Philippe and me	Another view on the island
Back in Rio, at an open-air restaurant near Philippe's house
Philippe at the restaurant	Me at the restaurant
On the jogging trail near his house. Not jogging today, but we did jog one day, I promise.	A view of the ocean from the jogging trail
Daniel and Juliana on Juliana's birthday	Philippe and me, same night
Us again, behaving ourselves	Fabio (aka Keanu Reaves), Fernanda, and Philippe
Philippe's parents' store - O Veleiro	Now we're hang-gliding, well actually just me because it rained before Philippe got a chance. But anyway, here's the platform that you run off of. Crazy.
Cute little me, before the "flight"	Oh look, I'm cute again
And we're off! Dangerously crooked, which I thankfully didn't find out about until we landed.	Up in the air
About to land	And we landed!
Philippe out to dinner at a churascuria (all-you-can-eat barbecue house with the BEST meat in the world)	Me, same place. You gotta love the 10 pounds of whipped cream on the coffee. I'm sure it has no calories.
