As you can see, I had a very good time in Rio and took entirely too many photos. Here are a few remaining photos from the journey taken during an adventurous day trip into the historic downtown area. The most amazing part was touring the Municipal Theater which is a scaled down version of the Paris Opera House.  The one in Rio holds 2,347 people. The fellow above was the first conductor to work in the theater when it opened in 1909. Rio was a beautiful city, even in the heart of downtown. I had a good and restful trip.
