It was a very hypothetical day

Today was a day of hypotheticals. I may have awakened in Rio, and taken a tour of the Sugarloaf mountain and seen the giant statue of Christ on a nearby hill. I may have run up the steps rather than take an elevator for the last part of the way.

Other than those hypotheticals, it was a great day. God gave us very favorable weather, and our touring went famously. We sang several unplanned mini-concerts while waiting for the trains to take us to the giant statue of Christ [that made the "new seven wonders of the world" list]. They were literally begging for more and very interactive while we performed. In the later evening, we walked along the Copacabana and while we were sitting for a drink [they had _so_ many fruit juices], a small quintet sang for us.... they blended so perfectly, it was amazing. We surprised them by turning the tables and singing a song or two of our own! They were shocked, and stayed for a while, singing some American popular music that we were able to join in on.

All in all, a very one-of-a-kind day, to say the least. I took some amazing long-exposure pictures of Rio from the Sugarloaf, ... you'd think they were a postcard.
