Age means what you want it to

This morning after an early night last night, we ventured forth to the giant Jesus that overlooks Rio-- Christ the Redeemer, one of the new 7 wonders of the world. It's enormous-- it is a wonder how they ever got it o the top and assembled it...

Take a moment to google image search it ... Now add about 4 cruise tour groups and a pile of other people to whatever photo you searched. It was crowded. But totally worth it. It is also the site where my oldest sister was proposed to (awwwww) by her now husband.

We also met some incredible travelers-- a couple in their 70s who had just finished a cruise, were spending 4 days in Rio, home then cruise around Mediterranean, and then for their 50th anniversary they are taking their whole family in a cruise along the st Lawrence. There was also a woman who was 70 and grew up in Rio but now lives in Florida. She had photos of 7 year old her on the beach in Ipanema. She had just taken a cruise to the antarctic. Impressive!

These awesome and intrepid people inspire me, just like my Oma's amazing life of adventure does. I hope to one day travel and experience as much as she had.
