Hang gliding off a 2000 meter mountain, most free feeling ever

A view of the harbor in Rio from Sugarloaf

Some guys I went Hanggliding with

Studying on the ship with Madaleine, Mandy and Hillary

There were hundreds of these birds soaring around Sugarloaf once the fog cleared.

This is VInce standing in the mists of Sugarloaf, luckily it cleared up enough to somewhat see.

This mountain was to our right on takeoff from hang-gliding.

Takeoff

Landing

Masters playing Capoeira

A lot of moves in Capoeira have to do with body control and balancing on your hands.

Another view of Salvador

Looking over the port in Salvador

This is Brazil. I spent most of my time in Rio, but the last day in Salvador. Rio would be the most spectacular city ever, but it rained everyday we were there except when we went hanggliding. Still real fun and an exciting city. In Salvador I went to a capoeira angola school to learn about the marshal-art and actual participate. Real cool experience. I'll try and put some more pics up soon.
