Trip to Rio De Janeiro For 2014 World Cup

June 30

This was the second day we arrived in Rio. The first day we decided not to bring our phones to the beach.

This was a big mistake because it was the most intense crowd we saw while we were there all week because Brazil was playing Chile and won in dramatic fashion in a shoot out!

Bojan and I found a gym right on the beach of Ipanema in Rio. All the weights were made of concrete. What an awesome experience!

To be able to train outside in the  sun and stare at the ocean, then go jump in after the work out was incredible!

I took this picture to show you what perfect deadlift form looks like, straight back, shoulders locked back, core tight, weight close to the legs… you get the point 🙂

I bumped into a cactus and got stuck with about 30-40 needles. When they enter the skin you feel nothing at all but later on in the day it felt like I was hit with a bat in my leg.

At Christ The Redeemer: It was a cloudy day with zero visibility but we still got some great pictures on the historic sight.

These pictures are from Buzios which is a few hours from Rio. It is an incredible place that I would highly recommend checking out if you ever get to Brazil.

This was in Maracana stadium in Rio where we watched Germany and France play. Germany won 1-0 and are now preparing to play Brazil today (July 8th at 4pm.)
