Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Atom)
10/24/04 So now we‘re in the Rio de Janeiro airport waiting to fly to Recife where we will play a show tonight. Friday‘s show in Rio was another great one, with the crowd being WAY into it and going crazy the whole time. On a personal note, my attempts to lure Greg K. over to my drum riser again failed, but I will not give up!!! We had the day off yesterday, we spent alot of it recovering from the night before, and did some sight seeing. We went up to Corcovado, where there is a huge statue of Jesus with his arms outstretched in a welcoming gesture, on top of a pretty tall mountain. You can‘t drive all the way up so you take a tram thing that just barely gets the job done, a little sketchy but par for the course. Majestic view and sheercliffs always make me hungry, so we went to a traditional Brazilian BBQ. These things are great with a nonstop procession of various meats and a killer salad bar. Thanks to all for making this trip so fun!
