Rio de Janeiro, Brazil exudes a setting which can seep into any fortunate visitor's soul. As the sun is setting over Copacabana and ships move beneath the shifting colors of the South American sky, one would have trouble doubting the existence of some higher being who put nature together with loving, attentive hands.
The Brazilian City's Warm Embrace
On the more earthly front, the city serves the finest cuisine in the world with plates from Cuban chicken to lobster to imported Argentinian chorizo steak on a platter that would make any carnivore cry at its wondrous effect on the taste buds. Its desserts are just as impressive and the chocolate mousse, a rare and tasty find, levels its opponents stateside quite mercilessly.
The feel of being there, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rio de Janiero harbor, the enjoyable shopping, the sound of Brazilian Portuguese spoken with animation and the beautiful, friendly people are enough for anyone to forget that any place else even exists which bears further thought.
