Pedra Bonita




Today we went for a hike. I think many many people do not hike as much or as far as Community School students. As Sophia said, "Hike? This is a walk!". (We thought about you, Rob Landis!) But it was a beautiful walk!! We walked through what felt like real jungle, and emerged on top of Rio de Janeiro! Here we are at the top of Pedra Bonita.


In all directions were amazing views of the sprawling city, and this is only one of them.  Here you can see the swank neighborhood of São Conrado. Just to the left of it, on the back side of the mountain right on the coast, is Rocinho, the biggest favela in all of Rio. Did we mention anything about contrasts...?
