	iJeff -- Journal of my Brazilian vacation
		Brazil is the world's largest Catholic nation, and you see a lot of bumper stickers that simply say JESUS or have a religious theme, but other than that I couldn't really tell that the citizens were strict in their faith.
		Sugarloaf Mountain, where we would visit later today, actually sits off the coast and offers just as glamorous a view.
		But, alas, no. There was one cloud that just sat on top of Sugarloaf the entire time we drove out there, rode the tram up, had a drink on the mountain and as we rode the tram back down.

		Rising 396 meters (1,300 ft) above sea-level, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar.
		This may, however, be a folk-etymology, since it is believed by some that the name actually derives from Pau-nh-acuqua (“high hill”) in the Tupi-Guarani language, as used by the indigenous Tamoios.
		The mountain is only one of half a dozen monolithic morros of granite and quartz that rise straight from the water's edge around Rio de Janeiro.

		As I rode from the airport into the city, the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain was lighted and seemed to literally be looking over the city.
		The 93 foot statue was placed on the mountain in 1931, and the view of the city from the statue’s feet is by far the best in the area.
		I reached the Sugarloaf on the same cable car that Roger Moore had the famous fight on in the James Bond classic “Moonraker.” After Sugarloaf, I visited Baja, Leblon and Ipanema Beaches, which to me were even more beautiful than Copacabana and definitely safer.
