Rio De Janeiro, Brazil II
Every good trip deserves a repeat
I came back to Rio de Janeiro to run the Maratona do Rio again. This time, it wasn't a success. I experienced my first `DNF`. The trip wasn't a bust at all though. I saw more things than I did the first time I came here, and left filled with more appreciation for the people of Rio, and its rich, yet complex, history. This time around, we got to go even further, as we took a day trip to Arraial do Cabo. A boat ride I'll never forget.
