I recently spent a few days in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I facilitated training for a US client with a large South American presence. My hotel was in Barra, directly across from the beach. Here are some photos:

| August is Winter in Brazil, so the beaches were not crowded at all - but the weather was beautiful, sunny and in the 80s! |

| A view of Barra houses and hills |
| I couldn't get enough of the beach views! |
