Good Morning Rio
In May 2019, I had the opportunity to finally visit the sixth most populated country in the world. Largely ignored in the Netherlands Brazil has a staggering population of 220 million people; compare this to the USA, which has an estimated population of 320. I flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's second largest city and had the luck of a hotel room with ocean view.
