Pink and Blue Sunsets
Is there anything better? I think not. This is the last of the photos from my magical time atop Sugar Loaf in Rio de Janeiro. Magic 349/365, Sugar Loaf, 2018
Manekineko Sushi
Hands down, the best sushi I have ever had. It happened in Ipanema of all places. Yes, that’s right, not Japan but BRAZIL. And yes, I have been to Japan. I am sure I could find better sushi in Japan somewhere but I didn’t. So there. Magic 347/365, Manekinko Sushi, Ipanema, Brazil

The Last Jesus Photo
This is the last of my Christ the Redeemer attempts, at least from above. We are doing the famous hike up this evening. So I guess the truly last photo of him will be from his feet. Magic 336/365, The Last Jesus Photo, Rio, November 24, 2018
